I was very excited when I started working for this company.  It is a great product, they were on the upswing with sales and service both increasing monthly and a good group of people around me.  I was promoted to assistant manager within a few years and that's when it all when down hill.  The hours were horrendous, the workload increased way over what they said it would, and it was not a very big increase in pay for the increased time and effort.  Soon after that, they fired my manager effectively putting me in charge of the department.  I ran the department for over 5 months, the whole time being told by upper management that they were still making a decision on whether on not they were going to hire a new manager or promote me.  They eventually decided to hire outside the company and hire a manager with no experience with this brand, and I was told that I would have to train him.  So I trained him and after less than a year, they fired him too.  This time, they did not wait for 5 months to hire another manager, they promoted a manager from a different department who has no clue as to how to run my department successfully.  After training yet another manager, for a job that I was more than qualified for, my work began to slip because I lost motivation.  What is the point of working for a company that passes you over time after time for people who are far less qualified.  The upper management for this company has no clue what they are doing.  They took a great company and absolutely ruined it with politics and greed.  This company is never going to succeed with the current president at the helm.  And to make matters worse, they have become one of the most overpriced dealers in the area, often up selling products to customers that they don't really need.  I advise you to stay away from this place!  At least until the current president there is gone!  Only then will that once great company truly have a chance to revive!

I really love the facility and the people here. Everyone is fun and friendly and they don't try to be so serious all the time; constantly joking around and making conversation... but my department requires a lot of following up with managers and/or advisors in other departments and they don't really comply, making your job much harder than what it's gotta be. The pay is not great and HR doesn't care to give raises (my department doesn't offer raises because we get commission off of each appointment that is booked, but it does not help because we are limited to the amount of appointments we book a day, so commission usually remains about the same). Super lenient here which bittersweet, useful when you need it, but sometimes they are way too lenient to the point where everyone in one department can call off if they want to, leaving you to be by yourself and the managers don't care. Free lunch every Saturday. Gift card bonuses if upper management notices your hard work. Overall, not too bad.

The car dealership was a brand new facility. People came there to look at the new building, that would help out in building some clientele. We would use those leads and try to set appointments with the customer to show and sell them cars. I would make out bound calls to other prospective clients. Management would make sure were making our calls on a daily basis. I would walk the parking lot to make sure I knew exactly what our inventory would be. The managers would hold daily meetings to try and boost our sales. When talking to my co-workers, we would try to stay competitive, that helped to build confidence and always wanting to sell more and more cars.

An average day consisted of a very hectic morning putting clients in loaner courtesy vehicles.  Once the morning rush was over, my day was filled with mostly busy work.  I had no managerial support.  I had absolutely no guidance and no constructive criticism.  The only times the managers ever gave my department any attention, was when something went wrong.  They were always "too busy" or "not available" to assist our department when we wanted to grow or better ourselves.  But they were never too busy to condemn us for doing something wrong.  One of the managers is awkward and very inappropriate and always made me feel uncomfortable.

I worked as a concierge for Bill Jacobs VW.  During my time I felt valued and that I had an impact on the success of the company.  This was a very fast-paced working environment. It felt, to me, that they truly valued their customers and did everything to ensure the best quality service. I turned down an opportunity to move up in the company while I was there because I needed to finish my degree and move to be closer to family. If I still lived locally I would easily be seeking employment here. 

Your everyday would start at 6:30am and end at 6:00pm Monday thru Saturday. You would get a day off along with Sunday. Co-workers are great they can make the day great. Management is ok but will need a lot of work. I've seen a lot of turn over in management. Healthcare is not the greastest I elected to go out side of work for my healthcare. Best thing about the job would be the customer relationships that you would build and information on the new vehicles to come in.

Been working here for 2+ years, a little discouraging seeing lots of professional people, you expect a lot working at a high end facility, but its like any other regular workplace. Professional, managers are very understanding, they work with you, lots of opportunities to grow here.. I've been promoted 3 times within the 2 years of being here.

Driving and meeting customers .

Waiting for my next assignment  to drive.
Most enjoyable part of my job was to be an ambassador for Bill Jacob’s and his customers and have a professional and businesslike attitude towards them!






Everyone on the Team was very friendly.  The Team all introduced themself as they noticed I was the new kid on the block. Everyone was very helpful and always checking to see if there was anything I needed. Really made me feel welcomed to the group.
