I worked at ALM for about a year. Overall, it’s a decent place for someone who is new to the car business and wants to gain experience, but selling used cars there comes with a lot of challenges.

One of the biggest issues is that I’ve had vehicles sold for months before customers could even take delivery because they were still waiting on repairs. As the salesperson, I was expected to manage those situations almost entirely on my own. I spent a significant amount of time going back and forth with the service department just trying to get sold vehicles ready, with very little support from management.

The pay also wasn’t particularly competitive considering the workload. The work schedule is demanding, including Sundays and long hours, yet the compensation was enough to cover bills—not much beyond that.

The management culture was another major concern. It often felt toxic, with job security being used as leverage. There was very little consistency in processes or communication. Andre, in particular, was difficult to work for. If you called out sick for even one day, assumptions were made that you were simply out having fun rather than being ill.

What disappointed me the most was how my resignation was handled. After dedicating a year to the company, I expected a more professional response. Instead, it felt personal, which confirmed that leaving was the right decision for me.

I was warned by others in the automotive industry and even previous employees of ALM that they were spiteful, disingenuous, thieving, and manipulative people and it all turned out to be true. Much like all dealerships, the managers will lie and dangle the proverbial carrot until you quit. There is no training or support for the sales team. They just want you to sell until you realize you're not making money and then when you quit, then they will hire five more sales people. Same goes for Finance. They work open to close multiple days a week until they quit. There is absolutely no culture and they fire people who have too much influence over the other employees. I gave this company some of my best work for what I'm glad was only a short period of time but they did not "value good people" the way they said in the beginning. "Run, don't walk."

when i first came into this company they ,of course, told me everything to make me believe that it will be fun and fair place to work. Boy was I highly disappointed! This Marietta location has alot of favortism BAD! Being that it is a BDC(internet) Based sale. For Example, BDC Managers are reqiured to distribute leads(customers) evenly to sale reps. But no they will literally send 15-20 leads each to 3 main people and will send everyone else 1-3 leads which affects personal pay tremendously! On top of that the "favorites" have more privileges such as, coming in late and leaving early, calling off whenever for day at time and mainly managers are will to make a deal happen for their customers than other employees employee. Overall not a good place to work unless you someone in Management otherwise you wont make money

I love this job ALM Gwinnett has been a blessing and answer to prayer. I am very grateful to God for letting me be there during these past few months. I've made great friends and He's been with me through it all. As a job it is a lot of fun. I get paid to move around nice cars all day. There are many things you do that are not "under your job title" per-say but all very exciting for me. Some of those include driving around Atlanta picking up and delivering cars, driving customers home or elsewhere at times, and different things that come up as business flows and duty calls. The only thing I dislike are the hours. Overall if it weren't that I believe The Lord has told me to leave, I would surely stay here longer.

This place will milk you dry and leave you out to die. Every alm I have been to is so toxic. The sales are greedy deal stealing snakes. Most of the vehicles are not clean or accident free (the carfax says so). The management will change payplans every time the team figures out how to make a liveable wage. The shop is full of incompetent low lever techs. There repairs consist of super glue and spray paint. This place is lowest level of dealership to work at rather it be up front selling or In the back fixing the cars. They will lie and cheat to make any sale they can and they will ignore your calls when you have issues with the vehicle after the sale. Poor place for both employees and customers.

A typical day here is working (55 hours a week) you have (1) 8 hr day (2) 9 hr days and (2) 11 hr days, but if you get put on the C Team then you work 66 hours a week, you work open to close 11 hours 6 days a week, and if you’re on c team you’re making minimum wage if you don’t sell cars due to their high fees. Management is horrible and biased. Gives all leads to their top boy and girl here (you’ll learn them your first day). The working environment is horrible and some of the coworkers are even worst. They’re just unprofessional. It’s not a fun place to be and there’s no place to grow or have a life outside of work. The pay is NOT worth it the manager sat on my lap and gave me a lap dance and made me feel so uncomfortable. I hated this place and the toxic work environment.

ALM is a good company to work for.  Why?  I have been with ALM for 4 years and I have seen so many success stories.  People that were looking for a job but found a career.  ALM is what I like to call a big/little company. Meaning that it is small enough to where we have ownership involvement and a family friendly work environment, but big enough where there are numerous opportunities for advancement and promotion. ALM ios results driven and very diverse.  It is a company that all should be proud to work for.

I have worked at Atlanta Luxury Motors for three years and find this company to be an outstanding place to work, learn, and grow as a person and an employee.  Ownership geniculate cares for it's employee's and customers.  There is an abundance of growth and opportunities within ALM and the work place is both fast paced, fun, exciting, and challenging.  Income potential is above average and quality of life is always a consideration.  I would highly recommend working at ALM for anyone looking for a career in the automotive industry.

I worked for ALM in Kennesaw for a month and a half and I never received my promised training pay and I never received the payment of the vehicle I last sold. They are very untrustworthy and I wouldn’t waste my time at this dealership, they take advantage of their employees and they threatened to fire the majority of our staff if we didn’t sell 10+ vehicles by the end of the month. And a lot of my coworkers with years of experience left. It is really not worth it, don’t waste your time. The vehicles that they give you to sell, have many issues and make it difficult to sell too.
