Vantaggi
If you've done enough to suck up to the right people, they will keep you in place regardless of performance simply because you are "theirs". If you worked in the field, your compensation was on the higher end. Fully paid benefits.
Svantaggi
From my time with TrueCar I have been able to experience the wide gambit of horrible, ethically questionable behavior that you hear about from bad TV tropes and sitcoms. Countless re-orgs, shuffling of leadership, and a constant disregard for employee and customer feedback has lead this company into the gutter. Just look at the stock price and business outlooks. Even prior to the pandemic, TrueCar lost the partnership with a company that effectively accounted for over 30% of its revenue driving business with no plans or outlines of how to recapture the market. There are easily 4-6 people within the Dealer Solutions team that no one can simply say how they impact and benefit the business other than just being in the big bosses inner circle. Shady sales deals, tons of inter office relationships dictating inbounds and operational priorities that it is a wonder how anything gets done "above board". But then you look at the HR team and realize that they are inept and powerless due to the executive team having bullishly operated in such a broken way for so long that there is no help in righting the ship unless there is a fundamental tear down. We have had 2 massive rounds of layoffs within the last 2 years, and it doesn't look like anything positive has come from them in terms of streamlining, shifting business plans and practices, or becoming more efficient in terms of spending and overhead. We are 2 months past our last major layoff, and there still is major confusion and no direction given to outline how the company is to survive and build or grow. Sentiment seems to be that the leadership is treading water until the major partner deal expires at the end of Q3 to then be bought out or sold. Its a ship without a rudder, compass, or any semblance of competent person at the helm. TrueCar constantly speaks about transparency, yet there is none practiced when it comes time to act on the words.
