Champion Automotive Group

There are many different job titles at Champion, Many "specialize" in specific areas. If you can adapt and excel to new situations, then you have a very good chance of moving up or even if you are not comfortable with your current job duties, they will try to work out another job duties for you before they just kick you to the curb. A typical day of work was to show up bright and early and get through the first morning rush. After that you had a small timeframe to calm down a bit and finish your coffee, after that comes the lunch rush. Quite a few people who have the misunderstanding that someone else is also trying to get there oil changed on lunch break tend to blame you and everyone in the building if it is not done in 8 1/2 minutes. After lunch is smooth sailing besides making sure the cars that need to go home go home, if not then simply make a call to the vehicle owner and explain the situation. Lastly make sure the vehicle are "ship ready" so that when the customers pick up their vehicles after work that they are completely satisfied. Overall a fun place to work, as always you will never be good friends with every single person that you work with, however the people there are diverse and mostly friendly.

I worked in a multiple different departments and it was awful the entire few years I worked there. When someone calls for managers they ignore them ALWAYS. Make you lie to them when they call back. You tell your managers about personal problems that you have to leave for and they tell everyone and they make jokes for customers to over hear while you’re not there then customers make bad reviews about false information about you then blame you saying it’s your fault you have a medical condition. They’re terrible people there. Terrible management. And the GM is 10x more terrible along with doing some shady stuff. The used car department sells junk cars and tell you they weren’t like that when they sold it and it was. Service never answers the calls because they’re in the back messing around and body shop never answer either because the manager over in BS is in service flirting with EVERYONE. They will rip you over if they do an estimate and screw you behind your back trying to make you personally pay for stuff and your car won’t get fixed right. I could continue but I’m going to leave it at that. I’m telling you this honestly. Whatever you do, DONT WORK THERE. I PROMISE YOU, ITS AWFUL. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE BUT THEMSELVES.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Leaving It.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Criticized for taking time off, micromanaged to the fullest. Nothing gets put in writing. Empty promises, and low pay.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No culture whatsoever. Hostile environment, managers that rip off customers and employees. They make you feel like they are the best and leaving for another group is a bad idea. They pay salespeople half what they should be making, and when you don't make your draw, they take your money. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Arrive and open the store @ 6am work until close every day. Criticized for every expense you write off, disorganized upper management. It's their way or the highway, that is why there is so much turnover in management at this organization. They make you fill out a good review on here to boost their reputation. Scroll down and see for yourself. 

Do not work as a service porter here under any circumstances. Champion never hires more than 2 porters per department meaning they are constantly overworked and under extreme stress. They literally expect you to be in five places at once.

Because you're in the service department, customers are always impatient and irritable, and the service reps are worse. This naturally leads to an extremely toxic and hostile work environment. I was yelled at nearly every day, as well as bullied by one rep in particular for the entire time I worked there. During that time I saw two lube techs come and go for similar reasons. 

Management was almost non-existent and the service manager himself was a complete joke. 

Overall terrible place to work..AVOID AT ALL COST

When I started here I never worked in a dealership before or knew anything about sales or the car industry. The company had a great training program where the started with breaking down the basics and how to sell a car; the process, word tracks, the paperwork, etc. After that, you continue to get group training and one-on-one sessions with management to help you continue to succeed as your skills grow. The sales staff overall is very supportive and helpful towards the newbie’s which makes it easy to get the hang of things. You feel you are more working together to all reach monthly goals rather than compete against each other as I would have thought. Pay is great and only continues to go up as you gain my skills. Overall a great place to work 

With my position here at Cueter, I have been able to immerse myself in the local community and see the automotive industry in a different way.  Cueter is passionate about helping the local community, ranging from local schools, to big local festivals, which absolutely resonates with me. I really enjoy my work. 

The management staff is devoted to their staffs development, and continuous training.  Each Department manager helps to ensure that staff is a certified product specialists or master of their craft, and can provide a great customer experience. There has been multiple people since I've started that get promoted from a cashier, BDC or porter position. 

I've learned so many different things so far working directly with the Cueter's GM and Managers. Super excited to see where the growth will take me.

I started at the Ypsilanti CJDR location. Immediately met amazing people, management and coworkers. The training was intensive and very informative. Although I do not work with the company anymore, I still use tools I was taught here, in my current life. 
I rarely experienced negative work experiences. If any, they were "off" conversations with coworkers. Which could easily be chalked up to competition. The management I worked with in used car sales, new car sales, and online sales, were some of the most inspiring people I have ever met. I left because of COVID, and only didn't come back because I lucked into a rare opportunity. 
Regardless, 10/10. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
I literally could not think of anything in like 5 minutes.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Someone constantly over your shoulder criticizing every word you say. Then you go to a meeting where you listen to your conversations in front of 10 people where they all criticize every word you say. Also you get sick? You dont get paid.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Your effort is never enough. Also putting one person or group against another. Very dog eat dog.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Hurry with calls. Follow the script to the letter. Be criticized. Male poverty wages.

Champion Chevrolet was a really great experience. Upon entering the accounts payable position I had no prior experience. They trained me and taught me all that was necessary. I gained great organizational, speed and accuracy skills, and became familiar with different methods of communication. Data entry, invoicing, accounting, answering phone lines, filing and organizing were all part of my daily duties while at work. 
I did not go to work to socialize and make friends however everyone from the most part was friendly and very agreeable. We got along in our work setting and dealt with any disagreements in a professional manner. 
I thoroughly enjoyed my job as accounts payable because it was challenging and rewarding.  

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the staff was ok, office staff is rude and inconsiderate. Management is only concerned with their own pockets 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No time off allowed, micro managed to the fullest. No team work at all. Not paid more than minimum wage 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is no culture, just a bunch of managers that try to get as much money in their own pockets while making the rest of the staff starve

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Be in by 8:30 if you’re even a minute late you get yelled at and no leads given the rest of the day. Meanwhile managers take multiple smoke breaks and get paid way too much
