Pros

There actually aren’t any. In fact if Group 1 buys your store, prepare to have your pay cut to the bare bones. See the con section for more detail.

Cons

Are there any? The 401k contribution is peanuts and the cost of benefits is so much that my colleagues can’t afford to opt in to them. This is all due to the fact that the pay plan is so horrible that we’re literally being starved out of a job with shelter on the chopping block as well but hey, the company stock price is soaring! This is what wage theft looks like! Historically, Automotive Sales Associates got paid very well. Not anymore and Group 1 established a “new normal” by taking even more money from their workers!

Pros

There are unfortunately no pros of being a technician at this corporation when compared to other OEM dealers.

Cons

Group1 is a publicly traded company, this means they are only concerned with their bottom line. High paying jobs are funneled to low pay techs in order to bump up effective labor rate. When the stock price goes down they terminate people. There are an intense number of corporate policies and rules that you would not otherwise find elsewhere, that make your life as a technician harder, these policies are also set by people with 0 experience in the field. Everybody is paid just enough to survive, I have seen multiple techs with families that need to have a roommate to get by. There are so many terrible policies that all of the good technicians ultimately left for the most part. This company is just as bad if not worse than automation or lithia. Company advertises a 4 day work week an then makes you work 5-6. DO NOT WORK FOR GROUP 1
