Pros

Met some absolutely lovely people, was excited to work for previous management when hired

Cons

Recently, Auto/Mate was acquired by a much, much larger company called DealerSocket. While they've done everything they can to say nothing will change, unfortunately I don't believe you spend the (rumored) kind of money DS did to not make changes. This was a once fun, family-like company that will soon be wrung of all it's charms in place of a much more sterile, corporate approach. After reading most of the reviews, I can vouch for a few things. There are a lot of people at this company who have been doing what they do for a very long time. I think there is going to be reckoning of old school seniority meeting new school "what have you done for me lately" approach that values productivity over all other metrics. The Auto/Mate of the last 30 years or so is no longer what you will be applying to or seeing reviews of. Going forward, I don't know how many of these testimonials really apply. It has become a different company, and one I wish I was made aware of prior to joining the company.

Pros

Fun FAMILY (whether you are blood related or not) atmosphere. NO micro-management. Benefits are good- let's face it health insurance is expensive nowadays any which way you look at it. Management is understanding and responsive. They are always looking for ways to improve, just BE HONEST with them. Personal and business growth opportunities always available, most seminars even paid for by the company. EVERYTHING is celebrated with food!- Plus an in house gym, should you need to walk off some of those extra calories. The camaraderie and support for our local community and one another is just phenomenal. BEST referral bonus compared to other places I have worked.

Cons

Impending sale to our competitor. It's hard to tell friends "come work with me" if I don't know if I will even have a job 6 months down the road.
