Cons
Imagine that you are in a high school, which is housed inside of a sceptic tank, and that the pieces of excrement which surround you are your coworkers and managers/executives. This is Bridgecrest. Cliques abound--and membership is predicated upon not working hard and turning in mediocre results. The "popular" group includes morbidly obese individuals who make lascivious comments, surf the internet, and scratch each others' backs, and folks who bedeck themselves with artificial eyelashes, artificial nails, and other artificial "parts," and display said "assets" in a coquettish fashion whilst shirking their daily duties. Managers who actually work and producte results are shunned, while the "popular" folks are promoted. If you do not drink alcohol, smoke, carouse, use profanity, watch sports, wear clothing that has been determined "cool" by management, or socialize with those in power at least twice per day you will not be part of the "clique." The employees are the worst I have ever seen--far worse than unionized factory workers. Their demeanors range from disinterested to actively aggressive and verbally/physically abusive. They violate FMLA, are chronically late/absent, and are insubordinate and unprofessional. Those who are part of the "clique" are allowed to remain employed without discipline; those who are not part of the "clique" are castigated, ostracized, and disciplined, if not fired outright. Bridgecrest claims to place integrity high on its list of desirable qualities, yet admits that it purposely misleads used vehicle customers in an effort to close sales. It states that all employees should behave in a professional manner at all times, yet its managers/executives are never to be found during the workday, save in certain areas of congregation where the telling of lascivious stories and outright violations of protected classes are considered badges of excellence. Who reports to whom changes monthly, and one of the factors which drives the org chart is whether or not the manager and subordinate in question have previously engaged in illicit, intimate relations. If you discover that, pursuant to the reading of above, you are of a like bent, Bridgecrest may, perhaps, be your second home. If you are, however, an upright, moral person who prefers a professional, results-driven work environment where achievements are praised and appreciated and bad behavior is rewarded with progressive and lasting discipline, you may wish to consider a different employer.
