I'm going to try to make this as simple as possible, so here goes. I am having a tough call here and maybe some people can shed some light and thoughts as to what I should do.
Since I left KO Performance, I got a job at a Honda dealership, doing new car sales. I love the job, and even though all of the economy blah blah blah, Honda is actually doing pretty well. Not great, but enough for me to stick around. I love the people I work with, and even though it's a lot of hours at the dealership, they are pretty entertaining. Honda also brings me new possibilities. I spoke to guys at American Honda, and they mentioned that in the future they might consider someone like myself to join their team. (Where the heck is Torrance, CA anyways?)
Anywho, my only pet peeve with my job is the schedule and the hours. Weekends are my biggest work days, which kinda kills most of my social life. It's Friday at 9:38pm and after I finish eating dinner I am going to pass out so I can be at the dealer at 7:30am tomorrow for a sales meeting. I also work about 60hrs/week on average, which really kills most of my chance to work on my cars or go out. (FYI: Both my track car and my 318iS have been sitting broken. I have all the parts to fix it, but for the past week and a half I have not managed to find a day to do what I need)
Now, I went on Craigslist for sh*ts and giggles and found a sales job at a wheel company. They are more on the ghetto fabulous side of styling, which really isn't my fancy. I did the interview yesterday before work and the guys loved my attitute and resume.
They are offering me a job with an hourly pay that already averages what I'm pulling at Honda PLUS commission. The hours are 9 to 6pm weekdays and Saturdays till 2pm. So that kills my pet peeves at my current job right there.
Now.... I'm really not into the ghetto fabulous, but then again, give me something and I'll try to sell it. I'm just concerned that I'm going to be locked in a cubicle again and go back to making calls. At least at KO I was working with BMW parts, and that was a huge plus.
So what would YOU do?
