Pros

Get to drive all different types of cars. You get to meet people from other companies who can give you a chance to get a better job.

Cons

Customers and Management treat you like you are stupid. Unrealistic expectations. Commision is a joke, if you sell 10,000 worth of upsells/insurance, you might get 50 bucks. Extremely long hours in the heat and the cold. Have to clean up after other people who are filthy i.e dirty diapers, used condoms, etc. Management does not care how good of a job you do keeping customers happy if you don't make them buy insurance. Never enough cars. Every Branch is understaffed which leaves employees very stressed out. Hardly ever get an actual lunch break.

Pros

Great place to work in tandem with other professionals in your trade, always had a feeling of "family" working alongside my peers. We come together when times are tough, this is very rewarding,

Cons

The current economic and geopolitical spectrum have been proving a challenge to this industry as a whole, thankfully we are a resilient outfit with the best people at the helm.

Pros

It is possible to make a difference if you are determined enough. Many engineers work hard and most try.

Cons

The company has a ton of tech debt that it recognized, but is not being addressed. Management controls the time, scope and so quality is falling. The people they have hired lack fundamentals understanding of software development practices. The company often will make decisions to save small amounts of money with their facilities and tools they give to employees without understanding the opportunity cost that was lost. Overtime is required. You can't work here if you want to have a family or keep your family from hating you. Title inflation is real. Many people are actually performing one level down from their stated title and those that are not are only not failing due to putting in crazy hours. Middle management wont stickup for their people to ensure they are not burning out. They see it happening multiple times in front of them and they do nothing.
