Vantaggi
Gained knowledge of auto industry, met hundreds of customers, and learned to deal with high stress environment. The stress and overall terribleness of this job helped me really propel my job search efforts.
Svantaggi
We had two offices staffed by three people, and managment was slow to refill the positions we lost. The branch probably should have minimally been staffed at 6 people. Long hours driving, to get more cars we needed to send people constantly all day to O'hare airport and back which was a waste of resources and time. No formal training, all of my training took place on the job and I was expected to run the entire operation alone within 4 weeks. This meant understanding compliance policy, learning 3 different computer applications, understanding and pitching insurance products, detailing cars, handling reservations, keeping track of inventory, and meeting with the 8 auto dealerships we did business with.
