Pros

The hours are not terrible. The pay structure changes a lot but recently has improved. I like helping the clients.

Cons

The company's systems are terrible. The phone system is hard to hear and constantly down, The service people were used to calling the shots and when the new owners tried to change the culture they met a lot of resistance. It feels like we are two opposite teams rather than one cohesive unit.

Pros

It's rewarding to see how assisting people with physical disability can make a huge difference in their lives.

Cons

Bought by corporate takeover people a couple of years ago, the old Ride-Away is gone. The only thing the HQ is interested in is making money to buy up more businesses. They overcharge dramatically (and few customers can afford what they need, having to take out 10-year loans) and have a pay plan that hurts the salesperson if sales are discounted. The manager's assistant spies on everyone so he can make a case to fire anyone he wants. The company has lost some of its best people because the home office in Texas (who are a thousand miles away from any of their stores) makes cutbacks based on numbers and the share price, not who can actually help them grow.

Pros

Helping people with disabilities buy conversion vans.

Cons

Company doesn't understand the auto industry. Run from Corporate in Texas who used to be with Comp USA. They have changed the compensation plan three times in 6 months. Vehicles are way over priced and penalize the Sales team for discounting to sell a van.
