How employees describe working at AutoNation
You can make good money if you're talented at your job. Most coworkers aren't. Corporate is absolutely detached from the reality of what goes on at the dealerships and the daily struggles with broken software, while they party like rockstars and hand out millions in salaries to hollow suits
Review from Operations Dept
Customer service after the sale.
If the top end was better I am sure things would trickle down into a better work environment. At the moment it is completely backwards.
Review from Product Dept
We are diverse. Have good relationship except the nagging of clocking in and out. Most of the time i been told that i havent clocked in when i have. There must be a tecnical problem, but they see it as is my fault.
Being human and not being shady used car salesmen
