Positive Reviews From AutoNation Employees
- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?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.
- What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?great overall place to work
- What did you like most about the interview process?interviewing here was very great
Constructive Feedback From AutoNation Employees
- What needs to change to make the company culture better?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.
- What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?Being human and not being shady used car salesmen
- Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?No one like to be bullied. And no one likes to be coached to take a job only to find out they lied to you about what the job was and what it was going to pay. No raises. And insurance has tricked us into taking $200. out of each check.
