Pros

Overall a good place to work as long as you are willing to put in the hard work. It pays ok. Not as much as a conventional dealership, but it is still ok.

Cons

Your hard work will only get you so far. You are more likely to get stuck in your current position for far less than what they will hire someone else in for. You will also end up doing the work of more than one person, while being told that you have training objectives to continually meet to progress forward. They will focus on the one mistake or short coming for the entire year when it comes time to discussing raises. If your work was 98% impeccable they will still harp on the 2% to not give you a raise or promotion.

Pros

It use to operate like a startup. Flexible with the right management. Outings can be fun, but most of the fun has been laid off or budgeted out. Red tape, metrics, favoritism, and budgeting ruined everything. I miss what it use to be.

Cons

They have let go at least 50% of IT, and another 20% have left on their own if not more within the last year. The good old boy club is very strong, was told there's no where to move up. Years in a row never having any actual achievable goals to show accountability for promotion. They are running out of technical knowledge and the only one's who are staying are those who've been there for a long time, only. Even some of those are getting laid off unexpectedly. Having connections outside of work seems to matter more than skill or contributions wether that's code or hours spent. Be wary of applying here, they are running on a skeletion crew on just about every team, this was not the case a year ago. What's left is not the biggest contributors or most impactful team members. Once the CTO (Greg) left, it all started a shift, a little over a year ago. No sense of ownership on any of the teams, while every team is so fragmented. One could be implimenting something affecting the whole company and get laid the same day.
