Xcite Automotive Reviews

Weather is a huge factor in this job. Since Xcite Advertising services car dealerships throughout the US, you could be potentially be taking pictures in 100+F heat or freezing weather. Protect yourself and your health. Getting assigned a good dealership almost feels like it's based on luck. Some dealerships have the worst people you would ever meet, while others are great. I've dealt with both and feel for the reps who have to report to a used car manager who treats you like a child. There are no bonuses, no incentives to stick around. Very little to no growth opportunities. You can potentially be putting a lot of miles on your car. While you get reimbursed for gas (about $.28/mile) you do not get any more for wear and tear on your car. Depending on your location, you might have to carry around an enormous printer. The company is a revolving door. Reps come in and out very frequently. No company outings/events, no bonuses. Sometimes, management wants you to take photos from 25-30feet away from the car. While this does make the pictures look significantly better, it's just not possible at every dealership. Management doesn't care and still want you to make it happen. Some managers don't even care about the quality of work, but just want you to hit the numbers.

Working outside all day. Weather affects your work day - can't photograph cars in the rain. Benefits package is not very good.
