      Lack of Support and Favoritism Made for a Frustrating Experience

      Pros

      The company has a well-structured onboarding process that could be beneficial if you receive the promised support and training

      Cons

      I joined AutoNation with high hopes, leaving a well-paying job because I believed I was moving to a place with better growth opportunities and support. Unfortunately, my experience has been the opposite. From the beginning, favoritism has been a major issue; better jobs are consistently given to other mechanics while I’m left with less desirable work, which makes it hard to earn a decent income despite putting in the same effort. One of the most frustrating parts of my experience was when I asked a coworker for help on a task. Rather than assisting me, they went to management, and I was later told not to ask for help again. I was promised training to improve my skills when I joined, but despite asking, I never received that training. Meanwhile, other employees were given the support I had been assured I would receive. This lack of guidance and support made it feel like I was being set up to fail. Overall, my time here has been disappointing. What was supposed to be a better opportunity has left me feeling disheartened and undervalued, as the promised support and growth simply never materialized. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy, unless you are friends/family with management than you should be golden!

      Too long to increase pay

      Pros

      Hiring Immediately is always good

      Cons

      You won't get pay increase till you complete the training they'll send you to in Orlando and those classes can take months before their available.

      Zero Growth

      Pros

      Hybrid Schedule and Nice People

      Cons

      No opportunity for growth. Managers do not want to deal with losing people and hiring new ones so they will basically force you to stay at the same job forever or quit.
