Dimmitt Automotive Group

What is the best part of working at the company?
I have been in automotive work over 20 years.  I must say Dimmitt Cadillac/Jaguar/LandRover was such a joy to serve in the capacity of receptionist.  The GM and Finance and sales team exceptional character; which I really appreciated.  

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
For me, I wish I could help the customer who seems to want answers quickly.  Sometimes patience is hard for some people, and I just didn't have the answers that they were looking for, usually pertaining to service department.  Our guests need to know that service is incredibly busy and these folks at Dimmitt are like a said have impeccable character.  So that would be my answer.  I have seen it all in service and Dimmitt is tops in my book to help the service customer.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very kind and supportive.  Especially during the pandemic, even though protocols were being implemented, understanding was also very much a priority for the employees who were suffering with the illness.  It was tough for HR but they tried their very best.  I also appreciate the charity work HR created for employees who had a heart to serve and give back to the community.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I was part-time evenings and all day Saturday.  It suited my behavioral style and my time clock, as a person who enjoys the late night to read and reflect and allowing me to awake at my leisure and prepare for work.  The full time receptionist was incredible and she had worked their 28 years so she had a nice organized atmosphere always upon my arrival.  On Saturday I would open and stay until close.  Very relaxing and a joy to meet and greet and help our guests.

As a former employee of the Dimmitt Group, I had a very mixed experience. Upon training I was very impressed with their ethics and overall operations. However once I was there a while, I noticed that behind closed doors they don't 'practice what they preach'.

They have a corporate trainer that puffs everyone up to make it seem like they have a very caring company and that their employees come first. This was only an effort to attempt to boost morale and reduce the drastic turnover. Management is very sneaky and does not seem to care about you individually as an employee. 

Also...VERY LITTLE opportunities for raises or advancement. They mostly hire from the outside when a management or larger position opens up. Seems as if they attempt to devalue you in order to justify the denial of a raise, even if you're a rock star.

Pay for the average sales or service employee is horrible, they're always switching up their pay plans, and upper management is SEVERELY overpaid. If you're a salesperson, you can make more money at a Honda dealership.

Would not recommend working here. It's just one big dog and pony show.

automotive technicians are in high demand. dealerships are offering high wages and building high tech, well maintained, well equipped, modern, climate controlled, clean shops, with provided toolboxes, and computers. 

dimmitt is not one of these places. the lifts are crammed on top of each other. a good number of them do not function properly. they do not provide tool boxes. the shop is not climate controlled, its over 100 degrees in summer and its 30 degrees in winter. one of the work bays is literally outside. the floors are dirty, the paint is peeling, there are high and low spots. the alignment rack pit is a garbage collector and not cleaned out. the few computers they do have in the shop were originally for playing oregon trail and carmen sandiego.

management is questionable. they claim to  want the best employees but do not put forth the effort to be the best employers 

the scheduled hours do not seem bad on paper, but if you need to make a living you will be working more than the scheduled hours because they can not efficiently run the business at the front.

Every day is never the same which is great as you look forward each day you come into work.  It is a pleasure to be able to interact with and learn from talented co-workers in a positive work environment. The management team supports every employee and values the employee's contributions to the organization. Every person is a part of the bigger picture to create a culture of character, commitment and cooperation to strive for excellence in innovation and finds ways to improve to meet the demands of our customers and community.  The organization believes in giving back to the community in forms of volunteering to various agencies throughout the year for the community's patronage to make our organization be successful in this market.  The most enjoyable part of the job is to come to work and meet customers that are second and third generations continuing their business with Dimmitt.  It is a family business serving families of the Tampa Bay area and that is the best job there is.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people and the culture. From the owners to managers to co-workers. It was a great place to work! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
When I started, I had never worked in the automotive industry therefore learning something brand new was a little stressful. After I learned the ropes there was very little stress. I had an excellent Manger who took me under her wing and taught me the business. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very family oriented. They make you feel like part of the Dimmitt Family immediately. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I looked forward to arriving and getting all the smiles and good mornings from everyone I would see.  It was very laid back but busy at times. Some days were slow but it balanced out.

My job changes every day.  When a brand has a new arrival I get the pleasure of helping launch it to the clients and prospects.  Have attended many charity events and functions to display our brands.  Been an honor to represent the Dimmitts for so many years at these events.  Hardest part of my job sometimes is moving the pieces for events.  Actually loading and unloading event items.  Immediate gratification is seeing the look of peoples facing and the wow factory of how the event display/decorations do make a difference and help the energy at the events.
It is fun at Dimmitt, I have established true friends that I call family now.

Working for Dimmitt Automotive Group has truly been life changing for me as a seasoned professional. I have been afforded the opportunity to work amongst the best in the business, all while continuing to focus on my personal and professional growth. The difference here is the culture! Dimmitt associates are valued in a way I have never experienced before. We work very hard to maintain the standards of a business that has been serving Pinellas County and surrounding areas for 100 years! Leadership continuously promotes teamwork and strives to make sure we are having fun along the way. I am blessed to be a part of this amazing team!!

What is the best part of working at the company?
The Dimmitt family is always looking after their employees. I truly believe this is the best place to work and I plan on retiring here. They seriously care about their employees and their families. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing it’s a great place to work. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
We are all family here. It’s totally different than any other dealership I’ve worked for. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stress less. I look forward to going to work every day.

Best automotive group I have every worked for. Hands down PERIOD. When a auto group speaks to you that they are family orientated this groups BACKS IT UP. I have worked in the Automobile industry for 30 plus years, I only wished that I was with Dimmitt for all of them (Currently here for 6 years). from top to bottom, Owners, VP's, General Mangers and all of our support team...Simply the BEST culture I have ever experienced !!! 

Dimmitt has been life changing for me. Working here has honestly been a blessing. I had worked many different jobs prior to here including other dealerships but none can come close to how great Dimmitt treats their staff. In my experience so far I have seen everyone be treated the same way no matter if they have been here for 1 or 20 years and I could not recommend working here enough. If you are looking for a great work place with a great culture and great leadership you should look no further than the Dimmitt Automotive Group.
