Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere, you won't find satisfaction here. Policies are heavily corporate, it's a top down org with a history of bad culture and that hasn't changed in years judging by old reviews, and little is going to change. They've had a high turnover rate for a reason.

Don't expect much in ways of training, the management is incompetent so they won't spend the time to train you up, they expect other staff to take that mantle but that staff is more focused on making their commission instead of training others (rightfully so, they aren't paid to be trainers.)

Speaking of management, it's toxic, a lot of talking about employees behind their backs to other employees, outright unprofessional. Expect to be asked if you're a team player in interview, which will lead you to believe you'll be stepping into a team environment, but it's the furthest thing from that, it's cutthroat.

Benefits are very expensive, I've never paid so much anywhere else I've been.

What's a normal day like? Dreadful. You'll go in understaffed, and especially in the busy season You'll be slammed with impatient customers flooding in, the phone ringing nonstop, all day long, be prepared for the stress.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Good pay.great benefits. Excellent proficiency bonus program 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
nothing out of the ordinary for a dealership. Sometimes getting parts is a draw back to complete a job. But besides that its great

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fast paced and friendly. Everyone is easy going. Training available to help increase your skill level and abilities. Appreciation is shown when it is deserved.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
clock in and get to work. And do my best to achieve my goals given for that day

What is the best part of working at the company?
It’s not ideal, but it’s not the worst place I’ve worked. High turnover means there’s been little to no structure within parts of the company and many workers taking on more tasks than originally assigned. Coworkers are pretty laid back and very helpful in many areas so again, not terrible. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Little to no training and feeling expected to know what you’re doing right away

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid back but everyone is pretty close to burnt out

Good place to work. Benefits are ok. Training is minimal and needs improvement. 

Depending on location management was a turkey shoot and favoritism ran rapid.  If you sold well or were in with what was the important store or cliche things were good. To often those that made mistakes were with thrown to the wolves or was covered up and dismissed as if nothing happened.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Seeing it in my rear view mirror.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Them not caring for the employees. It’s all about the money

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Cut throat and told promises that never happened 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Road hard, very little gratitude for your hard work

This has the potential to be a great company but with the management they have at the time i was there it will never happen. The (management) would actually tell customers yea we can probably just clear your engine codes and you’ll be on your way

HR has no impact on how employees are treated. They are constantly treated poorly and not given any good guidance how to succeed. I believe that if HR started training their managers and shop employees better that the overall atmosphere would improve and that people would actually enjoy coming to work. Turnover would decrease as well.

Management needs a serious overhaul for this dealership to work. 1 or 2 new managers every year. I never worked for a company where the managers had their own click. If you like working a job where you won't have growth and false promises then this is the job for you. They can't even figure out how to keep a manager why would they care about basic employees. 

The most unprofessional Place I have ever worked. Management sets goals that are unachievable, due to managements inability to work for the customer rather than Profit. If you like to just replace parts this is your one stop shop

Was an excellent place to work for until new corporate parts manager was hired. This person's poor decision making and obnoxious attitude is driving employees off.
