All-Pro Auto Reconditioning

A typical day consists of arriving before the various dealership managers and walking the fresh vehicles each day whether they be trade ins or auction deliveries and writing a proposal for each unit for services needed.
After getting management approval the reconditioning process would begin, I would determine the order in which each unit would be repaired such as wheel repair, paint repair, interior repair, windshield repair and finally, detail.
Throughout each day good communication is imperative since every unit required different types of service and immediate invoicing sent to the  accounts management staff.

I learned to manage crews of people effectively while electronically corresponding with the customer as well as my superiors.
I also gained a lot of sales experience by servicing the accounts various departments such as parts, service, used and new vehicles.

Management was very supportive with comprehensive one on one training and was always present in the midst of conflict instructing me how to handle various situations professionally in order to stimulate career growth and ensure the customer remained pleased with services rendered.

The culture consisted of respectful proactive colleagues who promoted self-reliance while involved in various career advancement programs offered by the company.

I enjoyed earning the responsibilities of a crew leader and account manager through the well structured training programs offered by my superiors.

This ad is very misleading for one this company is pretty much EchoPark and sonic automotive two the pay is not what they list no matter how hard you work you will not make what the manager says I almost can guarantee that work is very inconsistent, you work for two different dealerships (BMW& MERCEDES) all pro is a auto reconditioning company hired through sonic and echo park automotive the two dealerships already have detailers who do work for them so in return as a tech you get what’s left from those dealerships and all customer details so work is inconsistent at times so bad they will try to send you to EchoPark
pay is structured weird some work sometimes won’t get payed out until the next pay period or longer I’ve had so many  jobs I would do and wouldn’t get payed until next pay period or longer it’s ridiculous while I worked there the air compressor was broken and literally no management wanted to replace it numerous times you go without proper supplies to clean cars with I could go on forever so just take my advice and look elsewhere 

Cons:
They boast about flexibility here especially for parents but they do not keep their word. Getting the run around on who to speak to about scheduling for the school year and when the schedule was agreed upon a month prior, a few weeks after school started the schedule was all of a sudden a problem and it has been threats about losing my job every few weeks. They do not do holiday but expect you there before and after the holidays to the point you can’t actually spend quality time with your family while you can watch management do so with theirs. Watching the dealership do appreciation for their employees almost every month  , ours just sends us a text sometimes about hitting numbers .. if we get a text anymore. Most of the time getting group texts about negatives. If you want to work constantly , the money isn’t awful as long as you do 2x-3x the work , this job is for you. If you have children that you have to drop off or pick up from school or if you want to actually spend time with your family… this isn’t for you. They expect more than they give out, for the minimum. 
Pros:
You’re inside most of the dealerships so you’re not in the hectic weather changes. 
You can make good money as long as you’re actively doing the work.

A typical day at work, come in get rude stares  because you’re not part of the ALL PRO family, have people who have way less experience than you come over to you tell you what to do with an attitude in a very arrogant way. Your so called “Coordinator” knows nothing about anything, completely useless position, oh and if the dealership brings you 8 cars that are going right then, you’ll be left with a good luck see you tomorrow response. I felt degraded at the site, like I was just in their way, very nice before they came in, once they were setup…. Completely changed everything from attitude, to helping, and scheduling, I told them multiple times about my wife’s job and hours, and when I had to change my schedule a WEEK IN ADVANCE, I was thrown a very rude attitude from the district manager, who has no clue how to run a business or be a manager. If you have a normal family and a normal life don’t work for these people. 

I really enjoyed my job except on really hot days. The advisors at the dealership were encouraging and nice, but I wasn't treated with much respect by the dealership managers, because I was an All-Pro employee.
There is no work/ life balance. No way to get off for a doctor's appointment no matter how important it is. In fact, I had an appointment once that I asked for approval to go to 2 weeks in advance and was told it was approved, then the day of the appointment was punished for it and told not to come back for the rest of the day once I left for the appointment. 
There is no opportunity for advancement or any raise in pay no matter how long you work there. 
The manager doesn't care about us or if we have anything going on in our lives or an emergency, or our physical and mental health.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
This company took great care of their employees and customers. Management was top notch all the way to the top

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
This company always looked out for my best interests even if I wasn’t!!!

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Great!! Everyone strived to get better because the company’s money structure always paid for employees to strive for better results!!

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Depending on what location you’re at you would start around 8am and a manager would map out the days cars and what needed to get done and also work in cars if we had time to do so. As long as all cars passed quality control we would meet at the end of the day to go over the next work day and any problems we had for the current day.

Working with peers was always the best part of the job. Outside of that, you'd be hard pressed to find a shining light with All-Pro. Money stays at the top, the low man making the company money, is as replaceable as it gets. Unless you're rocking Gucci belts and shoes, you are just a number. Highly shady hiring tactics and poor retainment practices should show all that is needed. Advancing in this company is slim to none, with only a select few being considered. Reaching out to management only demonstrates a clear lack of respect and consideration to the employees. There is no consideration for employees or their social lives outside of the job. The money they bring in is literally the only area of concern. 10/10 would NOT recommend working for All-Pro. 

If you are willing to sacrifice a lot weekends and holidays on top of having favoring managers for false promises on salary then this job is for you! Skilled or not they will low ball you on your work and will try to sell you on the job in hopes of getting a cheaper laborer UNLESS youre personally close to management. Upcharges and other jobs like dents and painting bumpers the employee will only make 40% of what was quoted to the customer, the company takes the rest.

First off it must be nice for management to sit in cars all day long and get paid while the technicians bust their butts to make a honest living. The pay is garbage, RAISE THE PAY. This company doesn't even care about their own technicians as long as they are making money. HURRY UP AND FINISH THE CARS THAT ARE LEFT and then you can go home even after your scheduled shift is already over while management gets to go home. No help from management what so ever. Hire more people when you need them. No supplies near the end of the month because it comes out of the bonus money that the management gets for budget. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Steady work load and work hours are not irregular 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Short notices to travel out of state and do projects.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like a mechanic shop, hard, dirty work, you will get dirty, its manual labor so that will happen.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Auto body a vehicle or two and paint one or two a day, plus fetch supplies as needed. Mix paint ect. A lot depends on weather if you cannot move a wet vehicle when raining you will have the wait for paint spot.
