Vantaggi
It depends on your career goals. If you are looking to gain entry level sales and management, DT is for you.
Svantaggi
Advancement beyond floor line is going to be extremely impossible as they cut 30-40% staff yearly. Now they are making relocation manadatory and people up & moving to new cities was not smart because most store employees do not stay long enough for the move to be healthy. Upper management do NOT want to provide development if it means you moving into their department. HRM's rely too much on gossip and the GM's do NOT do anything but hide in their offices on their cells ALL day while the SM's and OM's are slaving on the floor. The Market manager over all the new stores (guy from Florida) does NOT listen, He talks to hear himself talk and NEVER answers your question directly. The Regional Strategist, how she got into that role, I'm unsure, but I question the competency of the Recruiters who hire these incompetent people, and the Executives who see fit to promote. Catty environment and too much gossip and hostility. There are training modules but that is about it. A company who shaves off 30-40% of staff yearly, there is no stability and advancement is only in relevant to sales (GM or SM). The hours are too long and if you are in management, you are expected to work by yourself all day and evening if there is NOT another manager and uppermanagement will NOT come to assist; they hardly answer their phones. If you anger an SM or GM off, they are QUICK to make a hostile enviorment and DT has allowed too many people to go based on this. They are opening too many dealerships and cannot keep up as they are severely short-staffed and most managers are burnt out in 6 months or less. PLEASE do your research and think twice.
