Pros

Pay is very competitive for the industry.... for as long as your job lasts...

Cons

Hours are ridiculous. Corporate expectations are ridiculous. A large number of long term employees have left. Employees no longer feel connected to the business nor do they feel important under new corporate ownership. Corporate BS is smothering the dealership group's ability to breathe thus leading to horrible employee morale and low sales volume. With over 1400 employees in the surrounding community bad news travels fast and the news of layoffs have tarnished the Joe Machens brand. Ultimately, it leads to the community rejecting the dealership group when looking to purchase a vehicle. Everyone knows that there is a high probability the dealerships will be sold off yet again within 5 years.

A Shadow of Itself..

Pros

Opportunity to make money, if your willing to give up everything

Cons

Long hours, young untrained, unfocused management. Overstaffed in sales with younger staff that leave after 3 mo and replaced weekly. Commissions are very low for 90% and sales are trained to hold money on the customers trade value to have a chance to make any extra commission at all. Very cutthroat between salesman. Company is cutting staff, and expenses to look for profitabilty as the sales have gone down since the buy out.

Hardly anyone cares to work there anymore. Negative work environment. Back stabbing.
