Typical day at work is not the same every day. The joy of working in the sales department is the different days, activities,people and co workers you interact with on a daily basis.  So its always changing as the day goes. 
What I have Learned: How to be a better person a better co worker and I have learned to have empathy and compassion for everybody's situation. We are all going thru something in our lives and to show a smile and a true genuine care for people and their needs is a great attribute to have and my management team I have had for 10 years lead by example with how they show me the right and wrong ways of life not just car selling. My management team here has allowed me to be with my daughter thru  life threatening times with out once asking me to come back to work or giving me a ultimative that most if not all car dealerships would do. They allow me space when Im wrong and allow me to come to them and explain my way of thinking and then calmly point out the facts that I might fail to see. My management team is family to me. Seriously. They have given me a chance to show my work ethic and prove how valuable I can be with proper management and building my skills over 10 years of employment. I have become a top ten salesperson at years end 8 out of the ten years I have worked here and it is because of my culture here and the way they lead. The hardest part is how customers treat you initially and the hours worked on Saturday with a family.  I enjoy all aspects of my job. Truly my family.

Working at Darlings has been an incredible experience. This is a company that doesn’t just talk about employee growth and development—it actively invests in it. From day one, it’s clear that leadership is committed to helping employees succeed, offering training, mentorship, and opportunities for career advancement.

The culture here is one of collaboration and support. Open communication is not just encouraged; it’s a core part of how we operate. Whether it’s leadership being transparent about company goals or team members working together to solve challenges, communication is always a priority.

What really sets Darlings apart is its dedication to a defined set of core values. These values guide everything from hiring and training to daily interactions, ensuring that we all work with integrity, accountability, and a shared vision for success. They create a positive work environment where employees feel valued, respected, and motivated to do their best work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people I work with and for.  The owners treat us with respect and like family.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Sometimes I am yelled at by the customer for things I cannot control. Like how they wait too long to make an appointment and how long the schedule is booked out. I try to help, but I can only do what I can do.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Relaxed, inviting, acceptable. But also accountable, detailed, goals set, strive everyday to reach them.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
First thing in the morning I pull reports from the previous day and I check the appointments I made the previous day, I check for accuracy making sure they are on the right team, and I sent the the request to the parts department to order parts. While I am doing that I am answering phone calls to schedule appointments .

I enjoy the freedom to structure my day (generally) how I see fit.  Some days can be extremely hectic (good problem) and other days can be absolutely dead (time to catch up!)
I've learned how much different automobile sales are from other types of sales jobs.
Overall, management does well to push for accountability for both themselves as well as associates.

The hardest part of the job for me is that every sale is different - every customer/budget/vehicle is different so it's very hard to set a particular standard for how each deal is formed - at times this can lead to confusion for someone new.
The most enjoyable part of my job is meeting new people and helping them resolve a problem they are having (needing a vehicle).

a typical  day work ranges from putting parts away to organizing warranty and keeping scrap pile of warranty to a minimum. In between time I also pull parts, bin locate, keep return area cleaned up, pull north van parts help out the driver, and on fridays in afternoon also do one runs myself. Also help with snow removal. 
 I have learned in 12 years being here is that there always a fit for you and they will help you find best placement for you. 
management deals and helps out any time it is needed. 
The culture of the work is awesome. 
The hardest part job finding time every last detail but easiest is we all work as a team to make are jobs possible. 
The most enjoyable part job for me has to be my coworkers thy make it nice to come to work. 



Working at Darling's has been an incredible experience. The management team genuinely cares about both customers and employees, creating a supportive and positive environment. The training opportunities are excellent, helping me grow my skills and confidence, especially in sales. The team culture is collaborative and welcoming, and everyone works together to provide the best experience for customers. If you're looking for a place that values hard work, innovation, and teamwork, Darling's is the perfect fit.

I have been with Darlings 3 years and have spent most of my time working for the BDC. I did this job with pride and even was voted employee of the month by my piers a several times.  When I saw a new job posting I decided to approach the store Manager and my Manager at BDC, I explained why I wanted to explore the sales side of the company and they both worked together to make sure this was a good fit for me and them. It was so nice to be listened too and understood and supported.  Darlings Core Values are the glue to the company. 

Working for Darling's is a blessing. I have grown in many ways as a person and employee. I truly enjoy going to work each day as my job is fun, the environment is fun, the people are great, and it's also great knowing I work somewhere that not only cares about their employees and the community but also actively does so much to help both. I feel appreciated and respected and I take pride in my work. 

My days consist of answering the phones/customer service and administrative tasks. I have learned more about the financial side of buying a vehicle where I can hear the finance department talking about it with customers. The managers make sure you have everything you need to do your job and that you are happy. Everyone that works for the company is very welcoming and it honestly feels like family. I really don't think there is anything hard about my job. The most enjoyable part of my job would probably have to be the people that I work with, they are always willing to help you out if you have questions.

Work with customers and sales staff to ensure proper repairs are made for their vehicles.  I have learned how to build trust with customers and insure they are getting the best service possible.  The culture here is very team oriented.  Management is always available and willing to help.  Hard part of the job is that the customers' needs and not selling them something they do not need.  Best part of the job is a good honest place to work.
