Pros

The best reasons are that you get to learn a lot about the company. You are well compensated for what you do compared to other similar positions some where else. You receive good benefits. For instance, if you have your degree, you can work towards a position in management or work in one of their showrooms. It is a similar training like Enterprise Rent a Car; however, it is not as hands on as Enterprise is. Plus, you are usually very busy so times goes by quickly. As an employee you are respected by your peers.

Cons

The downsides are, if you do not have previous experience of working long hours, you will once you work there. If you have your degree or are in the training program you will be required to work 50 hours a week. Now, in order to get pay what your annual salary is you need to make sure that you are working those 50 hours because otherwise, you are not making enough. They have an interesting pay structure. So working those long hours- you do not have any time for anything else. You need to remember that it is a male dominated industry and sometimes, you can be treated with less respect. Another note, sometimes the managers are not so knowledgeable about being managers towards the trainees that they have.

Pros

Huge office space and freedom to work independently in break rooms instead of being stuck at a desk. They have many opportunities for growth but the high paying roles are salaried and are paid once a month instead of biweekly. Overall a great company with good benefits

Cons

Lower pay than normal for the work

Pros

Stable company with strong financial backing and deep pockets. Solid commission opportunities once you build a strong client base. Certain regions and business groups are willing to invest in and support business growth.

Cons

Some regions are under constant pressure to cut costs, making it increasingly difficult to service customers effectively and grow the business. Management is often absent and lacks understanding of the day-to-day realities of running such a lean operation. Overall talent quality has been declining, and the management compensation and bonus structure frequently drives irrational decision-making.
