Pros

Good people at the branch level...some at the national level. Good product mix. Good insurance benefits from day 1.

Cons

Micromanages the hell out of you. Some Regional managers have no clue and their bedside manner is terrible. Every hour they are complaining if sales aren't good which makes life at the branch level demoralizing. Too much jumping through hoops for customers to get problems resolved. Pay for sales associates are stagnate because there are unreasonable quotas to hit to achieve commissions on top of hourly wage.

Pros

Some remaining team members try to help each other. If the recruiting pitch were actually true then it would be "start up energy with 20 years of industry leadership. With deep pocket investors and wealth to be made. 2 experienced owners that are committed daily by being hands on" None of which is true.

Cons

Revenue drop of 50% in 2 years. Customer attrition of more than 50%. Unethical finance practices with top tier manufacturer partners, as well as holding AP checks until vendors complain on a regular basis. Employee morale is non existent. Dealers routinely call or write to vent their disappointment with the branches and the poor customer service. The competition is doing everything better. The only ones who won't accept it is the executive team whose inflated egos aren't talented nor smart enough to right the ship nor hold themselves accountable. Benefits are bad. Pay is average. New branches are smaller & in bad locations.
