Pros

Fruit at the office, salaries

Cons

Everything else. -Old school management, they are truly rude and use a horrible tone of voice when approaching staff. They demotivate you in calls, they never say anything positive, you get threat instead of talks to motivate you. Very old school management -You don't get a proper onboarding and they expect you to know all the processes without getting a proper intro -Lots of unnecessary pressure. -Micromanagement coming from top members, they just don't trust the heads off. They attend all meetings and take all decisions as if the head didn't exist. -They don't listen to anyone who is not a director. Head reports to directors -Tools are old and they are not willing to change them. Prepare to take 5 times longer to do any easy task -Flexible working is not real. Meetings are scheduled at any time until 7pm, ignoring the flexible working rules and your personal life. I was even asked not to attend a doctor appointment I booked outside my working hours to work on a last minute project. -There are not catch up with your boss, since no one cares about your development or how you are feeling -No work life balance. No one cares about your personal life and they expect you to work long hours -Founders are young but they don't care about their stuff, just about making money. Any other startup is a better place

Pros

I have to put 20 words in this box, so I'm just gonna keep typing until I get a green check mark... there we go. :)

Cons

Worked as an outside rep. I ended up paying them to work here with all of the driving I had to do. Very little consistency with what you're asked to do. This company burns business relationships with dealers left and right. If you're an inside sales rep, expect a lot of people hanging up bc at this point most dealers already know this place doesn't live up to its word as far as the condition of the cars you sell, or the arbitration policy.
