* July 2024 (former employee, rating:1.0): ''"Toxic environment, would not recommend-Culture is non-existent and the environment is toxic not to mention the high turnover. The unrealistic workload and expectation for each employee and the amount of hours spent doing the work."''
* August 2024 (Former employee): ''"High demand for performance with unrealistic goals- It was great for the first 6 months then you realize the work load is unrealistic to do per employee. While management has very poor communication with people and schedules. High turnover constantly so expect to have short staffing everyday. If shortage of staffing is not enough or the work load. The inventory of vehicles are always low due to high demands of upselling for the company’s high unreachable goals. Overall, my experience was not a good one."''

The coworkers are best friends with management so they’re basically there to gossip and gang up on you. High stress atmosphere. Managers constantly hounding to meet sales quotas. Unrealistic tiers for commission payout set so high. Inconsistent scheduling-always changing the qualifications. Not a pleasant place to work. Run!"''
