A typical day would include frequently greeting the guests for service and sales.

Conducting interviews with sales/service clients to better improve the business practices

I learned what is important to exceed a customer's needs without giving it all away.

Management was excellent and backed my ideas for improvements needed and help implement them into the various departments.

Workplace culture was always upbeat ant respectful of one another.

Hardest part of the job was keeping good staff receptionists/cashiers and having their schedules set.

The most enjoyable part were not only the people I was fortunate to work with, but the clients and the daily reminders of what is really important in life.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Decent pay. Allowed me to work remotely. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The managers are rude towards you and don't have your back. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic work environment. Managers have a "mean girl" attitude and are just waiting to throw you under the bus. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Nervous I was going to be made fun of by my managers. One day I had to do a combination of walking/running/taking the bus/and Uber to get to work, and they called me in with HR and said my messy hair was offensive when I got there

I was hired here with the promise of making at least 50k per year, if I simply buckled down and worked hard. I did these things, and I make $200/week. Needless to say this would not do. Furthermore, the job required that I depend upon a wide array of other professionals to do their jobs.Most times, these others fell short, leaving me to pick up the pieces, and shoulder the blame for their mistakes.
The people who work there are amazing for the most part however. The salespeople are amazing individuals, who work very hard, and, especially lately, have been making almost nothing to show for it.

I never stop in the course of the day, from publishing the inventory in the morning, to taking calls for Dealer Trades, to helping take in leases that have matured, to reporting sold cars at the end of the day.
This is a good thing. I hate down times, and this fits my personality. 

The hardest thing for me to do is to be bored, so I tend to work harder to compensate during slow times. I can always find something to do.

The people I work with, for the most part are great. It sometimes takes some time for a new employee to catch on, but it is rewarding once they do and I hope I have been a part of that growth.

greeting customers upon arrival, gathering information from guest regarding concerns about vehicle recommending necessary services and repairs making sure customers have a firm understanding of what work is to be performed in what time frame and at what cost to them, this is achieved through extensive telephone and text im email   preparing accurate estimates and scheduling work appropriately while communicating to several other departments ie (parts-business office...) creating invoices,  educating customers of benefits and the value provided

For a car dealership with such a long history it is managed very poorly. They treat their employees like disposable waste. I have spent over 3 years with the company and have had 4 different pay plans and never once has it been for better. What started as a 60k+ a year job is currently down to double the work for 30k/year. Upper management cares about their pockets and their pockets only. They have made it impossible for you to make a living here by writing unattainable goals into their pay plan. What you will make here for doing an excellent job is not much more then what you can make at any other minimum wage job, it's going to be 3x the stress and 3x the hours worked.

Management not very much cooperative with employees terms and conditions  they tell somethings do something else. I worked there under pressure, couple of years I had heart surgery my doctor issued me a letter that do not letting more 20 pounds. And submitted to my manager mentioned to him I can’t carry too much weights as per Doctors recommended, then I get response from my supervisor go home,I said that’s set. Again I asked him do you have any other or any kind light work then can continue my work.he said just sorry I don’t have any other choice. So that’s why peoples are not staying or working happily. 

It’s a big company with a focus on making you feel like just a number. Worked there for 6 months and was a top performer and was told I wasn’t allowed to take new customers anymore and I was supposed to wait for customers to be given to me by management. They say they are closed on sundays yet you work every other Sunday. The managers are the worst closers in the entire auto industry, don’t encourage good performance and constantly belittle you. I wouldn’t recommend working here as a job, you’ll make more money at McDonald’s doing 40 hours a week rather than 60 here working every other Sunday.

DO NOT DO IT.  Being a Toyota store you expect a certain standard.  This is the worst Toyota Facility I have seen.  So many Toyota stores are Garage MaHals but this place is a pit.  Old run down shop.  The place is constantly changing managers.  I am on my 4th manager in a year, so that means more changes for us.  Upper management does seem to see there is a problem and it starts with them.  If you work here, just know it won't be for long.  Either by your choice or most likely theirs.

I worked for Bernardi's corporate office as an HR Generalist and I found my supervisor and colleagues to be supportive, helpful, and motivating. My supervisor was flexible with my hours when I went back to school for my degree in HR Management. We had a strong team environment in our department and worked together very collaboratively. Automotive dealerships can be a tough environment to make lasting and impactful connections, but I found that through Bernardi I networked with many wonderful coworkers and made great connections for future career moves.
