Classic Auto Group Ohio

My time at Classic Auto Group (a little over a year now) has been nothing short but a positive experience. Classic Auto Group is very understanding when it comes to education, as a college student I am grateful that they work with me as much as they do, but they know that when I am able I am always willing to help the company anyway that I can. With that being said, every store that I have worked in has been very positive and very helpful, they are outgoing and I have not had a bad experience thus far when it comes to employees. Management is very approachable if you have concerns about a day that you are scheduled to work but need off, or if you have questions about your job. They never make you feel less about yourself and always use the best of their abilities to answer any and all questions. From a customer service perspective, there is always a friendly face willing to help and answer any and all questions that you may have, if someone specific cannot answer your question, they will ensure that they find someone who can. The chance to advance in this company is endless, there are always opportunities to advance if you speak up and make sure you tell management about your interest in a job opening that you could advance to, or if they find you suitable they will offer it to you first - hand. Classic never puts you in a position to fail, they always make sure that you are more than capable to perform your job at the very best that you can be. As said before, the opportunities are endless, and the benefits given for full - time employees are unmatchable, when it comes to raises, promotions, or even voicing your concerns, management's ears are always open and always willing to listen to your wants/needs/concerns. I have not had a bad experience thus far in this company and I am proud to say that I have been an employee for this company for a little over a year and look forward to more opportunities that they continue to give me thus far. 

A typical day at work will consist of a morning meeting followed by greeting customers on the sales floor and trying to get them into a car, most of the time the customers already know 90% about the car because of the internet but you are still forced to use an outdated selling and walk-around  style. Most people nowadays just want to get in and get out.  Extremely outdated paperwork and software is used.
Management was terrible. I saw people get yelled   at almost every day for the most minor things that would not be an issue at most other jobs. You get very passive aggressive  comments for requesting time off and good luck if you have a kid or pet to take care of. There are some managers and directors of the company people are terrified of and get anxiety even having to talk to them. Fellow salespeople and mechanics were typically friendly though which was nice but favoritism is a huge problem as only specific people are given internet leads especially during slow months. The hardest part of the job would be the long hours and having to come in during dangerous blizzards when most other businesses would  be closed for safety. The most enjoyable part of the job would be completing sales.

Management is horrible. They don’t personally care about you, just what you do for them. You will never get a raise and will be talked down (GM will literally scream at you) upon constantly. Been there for about a year and went through 3 different service managers.  They’ll promise you a million things but never come through. One employee would show up hours late or not at all throughout the week and management did nothing about it but tell other workers that they needed to take care of their work/lie to customers for them. It’s impossible to get fired from this company which sucks because a lazy/bad coworkers made work harder and frustrating for those few (very few) who cared about their work. I would never recommend any of the people I know to get their vehicle serviced here. Turn over rate is insane. I’ve worked with over 25+ (few being fired/ most walked out/quit) different people during my year being there. I would avoid working here if possible.

The interview dragged. 
A pretty nice and understanding boss (when they choose to be). Most of management however seems to repeatedly disappear, and when they’re not MIA, they’re constantly glued to a mobile device or “shooting the bull” 
The salesmen are all very personable and kind. The service workers are dependable as well as the detailing crew. However, everyone seems to cower when management arrives expecting the absolute worst. 
Lastly, whenever a higher up pulled any of us off the floor, the managers intend to offer “constructive criticism” but instead, they bagger and undervalue so badly to the point where you’re left unbelievably dispirited. It’s quite cruel and perturbing. 

I've been working at Chevy for almost 2 and have not been given one advancement opportunity i've asked for and have only received 1$ in raises. Where as other people are getting as much as 3 in a raise. Most of the people i've worked with there are very fun and lively people. However we get no breaks and basically work non stop for 8 hours doing a lot more worth of work than we get paid. About 2 months ago i asked my boss for a transfer to another store and he said yes but i've heard nothing and one of the lube techs got his transfer in 2 days... Would not recommend this dealership if you want to advance and actually like your job.

I've been with Classic for a little over a year now and enjoy going to work. With any employment opportunity you still need to play the game. If you put in the work you'll get noticed and the company will invest in your future with them. Pay is excellent, especially for those getting into the automotive field and just learning.
The more experienced guys are always willing to teach the up and coming techs along as you show real initiative. Really your earnings potential is entirely up to you and the work you put. It's also darn near impossible to get fired from classic which is a shame because we could potentially replace useless employees with productive ones.

Full time schedule with decent benefits provides a basic pay check. Been full time for 3 years and have gotten no raises. Managers don’t care about you or value you unless you are making them money. Little to no communication is normal: for example, they gave a salesperson my desk with no explanation and took more than an entire day to move me to a new desk. Paid time off is provided, although you are looked down upon if you use it. Co-workers (and sometimes managers) talk behind your back, so you have to watch what you say or who you talk to.

No benefits for women or mental health. Management was horrible, got harassed for doing my job CORRECTLY every day. Eventually some managers and fellow employees would go and make advances on me and customers coming in. Disorganized, was with the company for 2 years and got laid off over a really ridiculous reason. Trust no one. Main campus in Mentor is really nice, everyone up there respected me more than my store in Madison.

Not a good place to advance if you are a woman, 95% of managers are men. If you are in the Sales Managers clique they will feed you deals and make sure that you are successful.

No yearly reviews so you never know what area of your job that you need to work on, they only care about the number of cars sold, how much gross was made, etc. 

No matter what happens, HR always sides with the Managers, doesn't matter what the situation is, customers and employees can complain about a Manager but nothing is ever done.  They also try not to fire people, they make your work life miserable until you quit.

Best part....It's great working with all Classic employees
Management is top notch!
I have learned a lot in the Automotive Advertising/marketing/graphics & printing industry!  Especially through my 35 years here, as technology evolves and changes often!
