Carl Black Automotive Group

Don't believe their hype they try to lure you in be super friendly like the first two or three months then you see their true colors... they playoff the hype of being the number one GMC dealership in the Southeast region but they really want robots they are constantly cycling through new sales people job security here is super questionable they're always firing people managers think they know everything and treat everyone else like they're idiots... only people that make money there are managers and the sales people that's been there for over 10 years... the sad thing is the owners really really nice and a true genuine person but everything else dies at the managers you work 12-hour days 6 days a week and really only clear about 2 maybe 3 grand a month realistically the compensation is not worth the effort

Fantastic pay plan. If you can sell at least 15 cars here and hold gross you will make a very nice check. Health plan is available. No 401k but has a investment account type of deal. Two days off a week...If you’ve sold a car in 3 days. Management is very uptight & condescending. Better back your bags if you don’t TO a customer(introduce them to a manager) you will be fired. As someone who’s been in the business for 5+ years I understand a TO can safe a potential sale but if someone stops for 5 seconds to look at a car and takes off you shouldn’t have to try to drag that person into the store. The Kennesaw location also has a “inventory manager” that is more like the salesperson police. Oh and you don’t really have an office, you stand outside no matter if it is 90+ degrees or it’s snowing...you stay outside. Might get lucky to sit in a car for a little bit. Very old school to swarm customers as they pull in. 

I spent over two years at Carl Black. Owner and VP are great. You have one manager that respects the employees and one that pretends. Used car manager is good as well. You have one finance manager that does things the right way and the other... well it’s the owners son. You have a GM “that cares about no one but himself and not about you or your family (paraphrased)...

They claim to be family friendly but they are not. Don’t have kids a spouse or any family with this employer, Long hours little pay. They give deals to the people they “like” that day. Don’t be fooled. As the top sales person I made 55k for the year. Keep track of your money they will screw you on pay. (GM) does pay! (Hint) I would look elsewhere. No one last more than 6-8 months.

The Hours have got better over time so it is not as bad as it used to be as far as hours. The company is big on getting the GM training done a head of schedule. Management for the most part is the biggest problem here. They do not really hire character in many ways when hiring management. The management for the most part love avg to below avg salesman. If you sell below 12 cars u will not cover your 2k draw and thats what the managers love if you avg more than 12-15 month they seem to not like it especially in Nashville. The Management is the weakest point of the dealership. This is coming from someone that made a great salary selling here.

The place is great to work at the management really hows their appreciation to the employees. As long as you work hard an can put in the hours you will make more than enough money. Most people just do not like the competition longer hours that it takes to be a salesman. They also are great at training. At the least you will learn a lot about how to be a great sales person and how to overcome rejection.

I have worked for carl black for a long time and always recommend my friends in need of a job to work there.

Pros:
The environment encourages problem-solving and strategic thinking, which address current challenges and anticipates future hurdles. Additionally, we have a strong team-oriented culture where collaboration is encouraged, and every employee feels motivated to contribute their best.
Cons: 
Enhancing internal communication strategies could streamline processes and increase clarity across different departments, leading to even more effective teamwork and productivity.
Advice: 
Keep lines of communication open to boost morale and encourage an engaged and proactive workforce.

Work week is about 65 hours. Management is not respectfull, always yelling like it was high school kids. They have their favorite guys who you never see in the front or busy but still sell 20 cars. Managers have to be involved in everything no matter what. I do not recomend anybody to work in sales there. Your life ends there, you will not have time for you or your family. If you don't mind anything of that then your probably make good money if you know how to manage your payplan.

I would suggest not working here for multiple reasons. Barely anyone lasts here more than a year. The service managers has had several s*xual harrassment complaints that go "unresolved" or they just don't care. Hard work goes unrecognized here and the management is full of empty promises. The first few months working here was great, but management just went downhill from there. Employees don't quit jobs, they quit managers.

The opportunity for professional growth and development is something I truly value at Carl Black. Also, the emphasis on work-life balance here is fantastic. Carl Black understands the importance of maintaining a healthy equilibrium, which allows me to perform at my best.
I believe Carl Black could enhance communication between departments smoother coordination. I think they are wonderful so far.

The manager over the receptionist/BDC is crazy! She makes up extra rules so that people can get fired. 
Pay is $8 and needs to be at least $10
Receptionist are under appreciated by some of the managers but the sales people are nice and appreciative. They'll even offer to buy you lunch.
