Pros

Free water and coffee daily and free lunch on Saturday.

Cons

It's the car business... No work life balance...be prepared to disappoint your family, lies to get you in the door, bait snd switch on job you applied for, high sales volume means low commissions, company makes profit while you make minimum wage, leads are not distributed evenly or at all, keeps a lot of salesman in order to keep salesmsn from hitting bonuses on their pyramid bonus structure, low traffic on the lot is a "you" problem not a product or marketing problem, favoritism, poor training, high turnover ,there are too many to list.

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
