Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, and a pretty good work-life balance at the moment.

Cons

A lot of churn with new CEOs and new plans that always end up laying a bunch of people off to make investors happy, then months later hiring a bunch of new employees. There's no way this has any value to the shareholders, yet they hold our bonuses hostage because the margin on vehicles is too low.

Trust me, if a lowly GSR like myself could cut $3,000 of cost out of the vehicle, I would. I do my job with integrity, but at the end of the day, I don't feel I have a role to play in any of the factors that affect my bonus.

Advice to Management

I wish management would stick with a plan long enough to see it through. Each new plan is so costly, and if it doesn't yield instant results, it's like we move onto the next.

Merit increases should be more than inflation, otherwise, you are essentially getting a pay cut for being a year more experienced.
