BUERKLE Automotive

Car Sales at Buerkle is challenging career but rewarding if you are able to maintain a strong work ethic in a high stress, roller coaster type of sales environment.
Top earners in Sales make 90-160k with the average person making around 65k.  
A typical day is spent meeting with and selling prospective customers and following up with prior customers. 
If you are looking to be a top earner be prepared to put in 55 hours plus per week....you will be scheduled a minimum of 42 hours.
Bonuses can be difficult to hit, especially in slower months, but typically start at 12-14 cars per month.
Compensation is based off of total units sold, gross profit generated, and customer satisfaction.
Management has been both good and bad.  The individual sales managers are generally very good and helpful.  The general management is incredibly shady and deceitful.  
As margins in the car business decline so has the compensation...be prepared to work more for less every year you work in car sales. 
That being said, you can still make 100k if you are ok working every Saturday, late evenings, and 55 plus hours/week.

The short time that I have worked here, the employees at Buerkle Hyundai have shown me how to take calls and page people on a loud speaker. They have shown me how to have patience for irate customers that call and are unsatisfied. My typical day at work is logging on to the cameras, doing my daily tasks of answering the phone to route people where they need to go. If I get some other tasks like; mailing and logging license plates and or overnighting checks/ mailing checks I do that as well.
I have learned how to scan things in, use a laminator, how overnighting mail goes, and also a little bit about some of the cars we sell. 
Management is really nice. They are a huge support system with wanting to see everyone succeed not just in the company but within themselves as well.
The hardest part about my job for me personally is being the first person people encounter when they walk in. Me being a shy person that is a little scary for me, but it is something that is helping me overcome that.
They best part of my job is that everyone is so uplifting all the time, I don't think that I have had a bad day at work yet because of how nice all of the people I work with are.

My position's main focus is providing quality service and satisfaction for new and used car buyers.  The job requires excellent customer service skills throughout the entire sales process. Up to date product knowledge is essential.  Expertise in finance options is required to guide buyers through all the various aspects of auto financing. 

The most rewarding aspect of the job is providing a product that I am proud to represent to the customer and receiving return business and referrals.

The dealership is challenged by a culture that is volume-driven but is frequently held back by lack of inventory, which is frustrating for the sales force.  The management style is chaotic and inconsistent.

Most fun I've ever had at a job, but if you are a female with no Buerkle genes or connections, you won't last much longer than a year. A good place to learn the business. Soak up as much as you can from the select people there that are the very best in the business. Never forget that if you're a female, you're only there to fill a quota and most, but not all will take advantage of you every chance they get and you must watch your back, stand your ground, document everything. Certain people are selectively chosen to be put in a place to succeed, and the rest are left to fight for the scraps. Accept that many things will be unfair and just plain wrong, inappropriate, and unethical towards certain employees. Customers are taken very well care of, however.

Everyday is a mixture of expected and unexpected, which is great! I started working here at Buerkle nearly 17 years ago in a part-time position when I was going to school, and have since turned that job into a very rewarding career, that I never thought was possible. Buerkle has given me the opportunity to turn a work ethic and determination into a prosperous career for myself and my family, all while keeping in enjoyable and rewarding. From the very beginning I've received the support and knowledge to succeed from my coworkers and management team, and don't ever recall a time in which I was told I could go no further in my career; I've always felt that the opportunity is always there for me to advance and better myself as well as the team around me.

I was hired with them knowing I didn’t know the old type of software they use and that I didn’t know the job since I did other admin work at my previous job. During my interview, I told them if they were willing to give me time  to learn, I would be a great employee for them. They gave me 30 days with no input on how I was doing and no feedback as to how they viewed me as an employee. Day 31 they fired me saying I wasn’t a good fit.  How can I be a bad fit if they don’t tell me what I’m doing wrong. I feel like they played me and didn’t give me a fair shot. Especially since they called me in for an interview without me even applying. I will never recommend working for this company.  They are not nice people and don’t care if they ruin your life or career. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
None when you go home the management group doesn’t care about the imployees concerns at all

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Management doesn’t care about any of their employees dollars are the one and only thing they care about 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very stressful ….. no leading by example… one for all no team effort no leadership no one to pass serious work violations on to health concerns on to management don’t listen 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working on cars performing unnecessary warranty repairs that service manager orders you to do so the company get reimbursed by the dealership

Working for Buerkle Acura has been an incredible journey. Everyone has been easy to work with and management has empowered their employees to strive for the best customer service and sales practices. I personally have really enjoyed the atmosphere and overall environment that has been created with people that actually care about what they do. Passion is key in this place and from management on down that is abundantly clear. I would highly recommend Buerkle Acura to anyone that is willing to work hard and is passionate about customer service.

Buerkle Automotive Group is a great place to work! One of the few large dealers out there that is still family owned, and family driven. Their focus is on the future of the Buerkle brand, the community and their employees. They work hard to maintain good relationships with the manufactures, which in turn gives them latitude to help more customers, and more customers means more work for their employees. All around Buerkle Automotive Group is a good place to start and stay for the remainder of your career.

Great Environment, easy going employees, fun and fast paced work area, overall a great place to work! 

Management was hands on and very helpful, a typical day at work is going in having a morning meeting get the employees pumped up to go out and sell cars! customers would enter the dealership and I would greet them and ask about there wants and needs then take them over to a car that they describe to me, do a walk around point out features and then go on a test drive, ask for sale, present numbers, turn over to finance then close deal.
