Pros

Casual laid-back atmosphere. No one is jumping down your throat in my department. People are generally nice.

Cons

It takes a long time to get an idea off the ground. By the time you implement, the idea has morphed into something else. Some dead weight around at the corporate offices. People just riding it out is the feeling you get. IT applications are outdated. Many people still on Office 2003. Haven't had an all-departmental meeting in months. Not sure what the overall strategy is for my department or the company in general. Corporate office is old and drab Lots of systemic problems that drain the company of money.

Pros

Through my career I have learned a lot on the automotive industry.

Cons

Corporate found a way to cut payroll by approximately $1k monthly to former assistant managers by eliminating the overtime associated with the position and eliminating the position , renamed it and lowered the hourly rate and put them under " commission ". Results...many guys looking for a new job cause with cost of living constantly increasing pay went down drastically plus most stores are understaffed but corporate keeps pushing for productivity, really bad work environment.
