All-American-Ford

This company lacks organization is every aspect of its business. The owners keep firing managers and staff and then does not replace them so it adds more work to the remaining staff who they do not respect and do not compensate well enough for the added responsibilities and stress.  The hours are long and the owners and managers expect you to live there.  The benefits offered are VERY EXPENSIVE and are handled by an outside company because they've fired pretty much all of the admin departments and all of the IT department.  The remaining admin staff is made up of mostly relatives and friends of the owners and the favored managers.  They have several locations but favor the Old Bridge location so the other locations get no support from the owners and they are constantly rotating sub-par staff to these locations as cast-offs so there has been no improvement to these locations in the last 4 years I have been with this company.  The sales person pay structure is way below industry standards and there is ZERO job security. Management offers no training or support to their staff and do everything they can to avoid actually talking to customers.  As a sales person, I tell my friends to look elsewhere when looking for a dealership to work for.  They do not treat their people right and then wonder why they are failing...

They also stopped offering free lunches, parking for staff is non existent in most locations, and they do not offer any kind of upward mobility or merit rewards or raises for sales people who perform well.

I'm going to be very blunt and clear about my experience as a flat-rate tech with "All- American". If I had to sum it all up to a sentence it would be, management doesn't care and be ready to be treated  like if you're just another number. To start, No guarantee pay. meaning if you make 22 hours a week, when you were present/ clocked in for 40. You're going home with 22!. That's flat-rate for these people. Doesn't matter if you do every waiter there is, the ugly truth is, the good tickets (cars with over 40k) have already been dispatched to the sharks. Once I was familiar with the works of this place, I confronted my manager with the type of work I was getting and the level of favoritism in place. It then turns into a never ending cycle of the "blame" game  after that they'll start giving you a few good tickets and finally you drop back to down to square 1. 


In the waiting room, there are some shirts displayed with certain tech names inside glass frames titled "The 100hr club" showcasing the amount of hours made in a week certain techs made. Yes! that's right 100hours. Impossible? Not if you starve all your other tech in the shop. Sending them home with barley 32 hours isn't a problem. I just remember that experience leaving a bad taste in my mouth. That's when I decided I had to find a new job!

Starting off the day with service writers that do not communicate the customers concerns effectively. Then deal with a parts department that routinely does not keep every day items stocked. Many repair parts are on backorder from the manufacturer. Shop equipment that is missing, broken and in poor working state. An owner that has told his employees that they "are all replaceable". The management makes the workplace an unhealthy environment by treating workers differently and unequally. Two plus points, only dealership that I personally worked at that allowed a 3rd week of vacation and they are  flexible with work start/ stop times.

It is a fun place to work. Co worker and every body are very friendly and help each other. We fell pride to work for this company. The management welcome you with open arm and make you fell as member of a big family. They inspire you to accomplish you goal.
They reward you with bonus and other prizes. They give you opportunity for advancement. They provide you with tool for learning and advancement. The culture at the company is cool and friendly.
We like to go to work. With the pace of smooth and friendly work enviro nment the day go fast and feel easy

so as a sales consultant you would approach guest as they walk in or you can also do follow-ups of people that call and ask about a certain vehicle. Then you get into the process of the wants and needs of the vehicle soon as the customer feel right in there new or pre-owned vehicle we will fill out the paperwork take a picture with them post in on the showroom floor. Making the customer and family feel welcomed and excited about their new vehicle.

Very disorganized environment with salesmen having keys where it shouldn't be and keys are not where it's supposed to be which screws things up for everyone who looks for car keys to move and reorganize the lot. The cars are parked in different towns and sometimes not in the specific lot that the managers send you to to find that car. If you cannot find the car in that parking lot you get a lot of anger because they expect the car to be there... Just know you need a lot of patience for that bs

What I liked about it was you may be doing different things depending what they may need you for.  You could be a lot attendant but out of the blue you may be asked to follow another employee to deliver a new car to a customer (and I even went as far as going into New York on some occasions), so every day was a  little different.  And I liked the people I worked with.

●	Responsible for website administration to convert web traffic to appointments
●	Monitor and analyze vehicles in inventory and sold on a weekly basis for 6 corporate locations
●	Manage vehicle listings, vehicle data and images for 6 websites covering multiple locations throughout New Jersey
●	Vehicle Monitoring Placement on Autotrader.com for dealerships within 10 to 25 mile radius to guarantee best search results in our favor

An average day at work would include anything and everything from handling all of the inventory in 4 different locations, running instagram and facebook accounts for these locations, to preparing for and running special dealership events.  I had to maintain a high level of standard for our vehicles on our websites which included high photo quality and text descriptions.  It was a great place to work at!

All American Ford was exceptional in its treatment towards its employees.However inefficient management would make work stressful for reliable workers
