    No such thing as a work/life balance in car sales.
    The good thingsFellow Salesmen are great, they really are there to have your back
    The challengesCar sales is a dying industry, Customers shop around online for the cheapest prices and there is no respect. High turnover industry. Long hours and you don't get paid correctly. Sales process is wrong. No help from head office.
