Pros

People love this company. Excellent benefits that take effect immediately. Awesome products that continually improve and you get to drive the cars from time to time.

Cons

Management has a passive-aggressive nature and most shouldn't be in the roles that they're in. You are encouraged at your time of hire to share ideas for the benefit of the company. Your ideas are never taken into consideration. District level visits last 5-10 minutes and no time to talk to you, only management, so your side of the story is never heard. If upper management does talk to you, it feels like they are talking down to you. Polices, pay, job titles and responsibilities are changing all of the time. I guess this is what comes from a growing company. The probability of really moving up in this company outside of sales are slim to none if you start in sales. My location was inside of Nordstrom. Myself and my coworkers left solid jobs to come here for all the promises of long term career opportunities in the company. Our location lasted less than 6 months and we're all laid off. I feel like it was part of a failed experiment, and we're paying the price for it.
