Don't waste your time if you have other options
Former employee (Former Employee), DFW Texas – April 11, 2013
Pros: they don't seem to mind horrible turnover rates
Cons: yes, many
Upper management are mostly young and inexperienced aside from a couple weeks of training at auto nations in house training facility. Huge disconnect between upper mgmnt and the rest of the "common employees." Autonation is the Walmart of auto groups. Only difference is they buy stores that are high functioning with a good reputation and turn them into – more... junk. Stay away if you can. – less

Cornelio – May 15, 2013

This employee must be part of management, for us technicians I say no training at all. They rather hire students coming out of trade schools with no experience to pay them cheap. So, for customers, they don't get the service they deserve.

Payroll Coordinator (Former Employee), Irving, TX – April 1, 2013
Pros: n/a
Cons: n/a
I learned at this job that the training was no good and they dom't try to help you in no kind of way.
I liked my co-workers.
The hardest part of this job was learning everything on my own.

Average
Service Director (Current Employee), Littleton, CO – March 27, 2013
Pros: advancement
Cons: healthcare, compensation
Large corporation with ideal advancement opportunities, and great people within high management with strong morals. Benefits and compensation could surely be greater for the fortune 500 company. Don't generally like the direction the company is going in some areas.

Almost as bad as hell
ASM (Former Employee), Greater Los Angeles – March 27, 2013
Pros: people that works here
Cons: everything else related to this place
This place is terrible, the upper management only cares about their pocket. There is no work life balance, you are required to stay here from 7-7 5 days a week with no break and horrible pay. The only thing good here are the coworkers, they are the most down to earth people.

Don't work here!
SSC Coordinator (Current Employee), Las Vegas, NV – January 22, 2013
Pros: nothing good happens working at this company.
Cons: no advancement, pay is terrible, the upper mgmt are puppets for the greedy corporate officers
Horrible company to work for! Stay away at all costs. No room for advancement, corporate more worried about their pockets getting fatter while employees keep getting pay cuts. The SSC in Irving, TX
Is a joke turnover constant with no knowledgeable replacements.
You are just a paper pusher at Auto nation they dumb you down by taking away all of the office – more... functions you would normally do and send it to the SSC. – less

Stressful / Poor work life balance
Fixed Operations (Former Employee), South Florida – September 28, 2012
Pros: everyone needes a job
Cons: corporate micromanagement
This company is a good place to start your automotive career. But that's about it. The management and pay structure is horrible. The CSI ( customer service survey) is tied in to your pay. So you lose money if you have a unsatisfied customer, and as everyone knows you can't please everyone. The CSI system is meant to punish employees, in some cases is – more... almost 1/2 your pay.

They need to put corporate greed aside and invest in there employees. Search the web for auto jobs and 9 out of 10 are Autonation, nobody stays here long for a reason.

This company is only profitable because it knows how to consolidate everything. Everybody is stretched to thin, understaffed, low pay and everybody is paid on 100% commission. All this makes for a very stressful work environment. – less

Waste of time
Automotive master tech (Former Employee), Ft Myers Florida – September 12, 2012
Pros: leaving that place
Cons: management and pay
Co workers were helpful but either than that low pay,takes forever to be compensated or given a raise when earned, no room for advancement unless you knew someone way higher up. Even if that person was incompetent as long as you knew someone you got promoted. You were capped off as far as you could go and get paid. Alot of free work and fixing ppls – more... messes long hours. Everyone complain about management! – less

dont waist your time
Service advosor (Former Employee), tampa – August 20, 2012
Pros: customers and clean bathrooms
Cons: bad business
Autonation just plane stinks the managers have no concept of time expecting you to know the job within ! week and making up excuses not to answere your questions . Also when you do get hired be prepared to wait up to 60 day;s before they get all of the passwords and training material you need to learn and do your job if they dont fire you first. And – more... be prepared for the lies you will be told all the time because once they know any info about your personal life outside of work or see any type of struggle they will try to make you fail and then have a idiotic caring smile and demenor like they care they dont, like most corporations today its all about the money. Just dont work for them its a waist of time and emotionally exausting becuase in the end your nothing to them. If you do get fired leave them off your resume. Even though its against company policy for them to say detailed info about you to another employer they will anyway's, they did it to me and lied so i wouldnt get hired by another company – less

Terrible management, terrible training.
Service Technician (Former Employee), Tn – July 18, 2012
Pros: hour long lunch.
Cons: poor management, no training.
I recently worked here and it was an awful experience. They expect you to know how everything works your first day and will give you a hard time if you mess up. The supervisor breathes down your neck all day and you dont get paid good at all. The best thing about the job were the employees, but half of them were quiting to go to rusty wallace.

Will not Recurit qualified applicant...
Finance and Sales Director (Former Employee), Denver – July 14, 2012
Pros: non to think of

Out side of the location advertised no matter how qualified. Nor will will regional HR work or communicate with applicants. A waste of time and offers no future to those wanting to advance career.

Thankful for my time there
IT Security Lead Analyst (Former Employee), Irving, TX – June 11, 2012
Pros: 1 hour lunch
Cons: no overtime for time consuming projects
I'm thankful for the opportunity I had to work at AutoNation, but I'm happy to no longer be working there because I certainly needed a fresh start. There was not any room for advancement and I don't feel that this company has the best interest for it's employees in mind. I did get opportunities to work with different technologies that I think will be – more... beneficial in the long run. However, the fact that multiple projects were thrown in my direction without the ability to work overtime was very stressful and not conducive to getting work done properly and efficiently. – less
