This role operates on a draw-against-commission structure, so income can be extremely unpredictable. While employees initially receive paychecks, those payments are a draw that must be repaid through future commissions. Depending on sales and seasonality, it can take a long time before employees see consistent take-home earnings.
Customer opportunities are distributed through a rotating system for walk-ins. Because new hires start at the bottom and the rotation resets frequently, it can take a significant amount of time before receiving regular sales opportunities. During slower periods, it is possible to spend full shifts on the floor without making a sale.
The sales team is large relative to the available customer traffic, which creates a highly competitive environment. Combined with changing sales goals and the commission structure, reaching a stable income can be difficult for many employees.
The schedule can also be demanding, with weeks commonly around 50 hours or more. When long hours are combined with unpredictable earnings and limited customer flow, the role can become financially and mentally challenging for some people.
Anyone considering this position should review the compensation structure carefully and be fully prepared for a high-pressure commission environment with significant income variability.
They will not provide pay details until you are in person. This is because there is no pay and they will blow smoke in person that you will make crazy money. When in fact you make none.

You will see “$15” an hour, but in reality it is not. You will have to pay it back with future sales commission. Not sure how they get away with it honestly. Feels illegal.

If you like having no training, being thrown under the bus, being yelled at by customers and being hired because of your appearance on Facebook, this is the job for you. I learned that the applicants that were interviewed were only interviewed because of what they look like on Facebook. One of the applicants was referred to as, "the angry lesbian." I have never taken a position where there's no training or a coarse on the computersystem, or even how to interact with the type of clientele. The men are always talking about how big their, "junk" is and the things they would do to the female workers if they had ten minutes with them. The famale workers will talk about you and make you feel like you're in sixth grade again. There's only a couple of employees there that are honest and kind and thoughtful of anyone else. You will work your heart out here for no compensation. You will be under paid, and work 50+ hours a week because management leaves you alone and disappears for hours on end. You will have customers ask about units that have been there for two months and will be outraged because the unit had not been touched since they dropped it off. This company is so unorganized and even corporate is sketchy. The business was robbed in my first week of being employed by an employee that is still employed by the company. Corporate was never notified. By far, this company is the most bologna filled business I have ever heard of.

All emotions aside with Bish's, this has been the most toxic workplace I've ever been a part of. 

Training - The online trainings are all old videos that show you their processes that have been changed several times since the videos were made and half of them don't work and they fired the people who can get them working. They do not set you up to succeed

Work/Life Balance - if you have a family and you want to be present, Only accept an hourly position. They work their salaried positions to the bone and absolutely will not give their hourly overtime so the only way to keep a good work/life balance is to be in an hourly position

Broken Promises and no transparency from corporate. They just went through a massive layoff and tried to gaslight everyone in to thinking that they're financially healthy, they're not. They sell you on their bonus structure and potential. If you go to work here do not count on bonuses or you will be sorely disappointed.

Finally, if you are considering working here. Do not work in service, look for a role in sales. Bish's gives a heavy preference to their sales individuals. This is common in all dealerships but rampant at Bish's. It is apparent in all their monthly webinars, their policies and their pay structuring. I'm addition their massive layoff aforementioned was almost entirely fixed ops. I'm addition they treat their service so poorly almost the entire fixed ops at the salt lake location walked. 


Working at Bish's RV will punish any individual who is competent and shows promise at their job.
- In any department you work in (except sales), the hard workers become expected to work 60-70 hour weeks while only getting paid 40 (no overtime), and if you try to ask for help,  you are then called lazy and abrasive to the company. 
- You will have to fight and claw to get any time off
- Be prepared to be publically berated and demeaned by management and sales outfitters, they will yell and curse you out 
- there are no raises given out as a company policy, so don't try asking
- the only people who see promotions are those who are close and have outside relationships with those at the corporate office in Meridian 
- every position except for management has such high turnover that you are lucky to see someone else that is been there over a year 
- trying to get time off for any type of emergency will be followed by individuals still calling and emailing you for immediate answers even if they know you are dealing with an emergency 
- their college "accelerated management program" is a lie, they lead young 20-year-olds into careers they don't 

I started out as a warranty administrator but when they switched it over to centralized warranty I apparently was not good enough to be able to be a part of that team. That team gets to work from home which I suggested the summer before, but they stated that that job was a in-person job. So I was moved to a photographer and parts shipping and receiving. But I was still performing warranty job duties. When I asked for help with performing some of those duties, I was ignored by not only my manager, my general manager but also the CEO of the company. I would help in different areas but was very unappreciated. Everybody else in the company had options to get bonuses or trips but I never had that option. Was performing two full-time jobs and also marketing on the side. But when more was given to me I was not getting help. Then my manager got mad when I put in my two weeks notice because "I didn't talk to him first.” Just the way it was handled, Obviously it is not a "family business”. They only care about making money but don't care about their employees. The turnover rate is already high but when they have an valuable employee they don't treat them well. 

I love the flexibility and self-ownership/accountability that my specific position allows and my director gives me with my work. This company has unlimited and untapped amount of growth and opportunities which is super exciting. From my experience so far with Bish's, if you are a stellar employee and are outgrowing your role and there isn't a place for you, we make a place for you. Culture and work-life balance is super important to me, honestly, more than compensation (which I would say we are pretty average on, not over or underpaying). I want to be able to go home at the end of the day and focus on my personal life and luckily, I feel like I am able to turn my Bish's brain off as nothing is more important than mental well-being and family. The hardest part of being a smaller/fast growing company is all of the change. Some days its too much and it's easy to get frustrated. Some days it's exciting and motivating and you want to do more and be better. I am accepting that we are not a "black and white" company, there are lots and lots and lots of gray areas. But that's what excites me! At this moment, I plan on staying with this company for as long as I can.

I loved working here because of the people I worked with. It was a fun relaxed atmosphere for the most part. However, I feel that there were a lot of empty promises. The owner talks a lot about how they promote internally and invest in their employees. That's true if you are a salesman, if not you are lucky to feel that you know enough to do your job. Sales is put on a pedestal, they are given all the incentives and opportunities. Another thing that I didn't like is that each department plays the blame game. No one wants to deliver bad news to the customer and as much as they preach to be customer focused it ends up coming down to who is paying for it and how much it will cost. I really liked working here at first, its a fun and relaxed place with really great people but as time went on I noticed all of these problems. Would I suggest this company to work for? Yes but don't take anything management says too seriously when it comes to promising promotions, investments, or anything like that.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The in house co workers. Thats the only good thing I have to say.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I been in service business 47 years and this company only cares about  what they move on the lot and not the customers or the employees. They are not efficient in any way

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible. They force all the units in one entrance including semi deliveries making a bottle neck, poor phone system, lack of employees for the customer and technicians, too many manager meetings, where you cant get approvals and get your work done etc

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Apologizing all day to customers and the employees and hearing complaints all shift long. I know service is stressful but this place doesn't care. Also getting parts that corporate orders without our knowledge and mr and mrs customer blames us because they dont know whats going on behind closed doors.Also many months of units in service

I was over promised and under delivered. 
I had zero support from reporting management.
I had less than 3 days of training and some of that was spent with IT working out computer issues. 
I worked 50-70 hrs a week with 40 hrs pay with the promis that change and help was coming. IT NEVER CAME. Corporate management acted like they wanted to help and the min they walked out the door there was no follow up. 
A new manager was hired and made it clear it was his way or no way. He didn't care about the past promises or work I had put in. The over time or the unkept promises. I was at the bottle of his list and he made that clear. 
They are making changes but for the bottom line of making a 1.00 not for the employees. Let also not forget they took away the 401K match and fed the employees with some Corporate BS line of Better things to come IF YOU JUST WAIT.
