I think some Managers truly care and try to make work a good environment . I see some unreasonable reviews on here tbh. I think everyone is human and stress will cause tension. But to say my managers just don't care would be a reach. They are numbers driven but what sales-related business isn't. 
BUT I think slightly better pay would make it easier to deal with certain things. Money talks.
Honestly I think this company is as proactive and innovative as any. Which is why I want to be completely honest.
Pay isn't horrible.. its fairly decent when compared to the low budget pay some companies pay but we don't want to be compared to those places. We aren't doing low budget work...as a salesman we are expected to provide top notch consulting , selling , wash cars sometimes, pick up customers and follow up on documents with customers. At Easterns you're more than a Desk Salesman. You are a Renaissance man and tbh I love and embrace it. I think that's the type of employee the best businesses have. BUT the average rent (in MD : $1531) alone is still more than 70% of your net base pay for a MONTH ($2000) of working as a salesman unless you hit bonuses. That's unsettling if this job takes up 40-50 hrs a week. I like working here but that forces you to work another job to stay afloat but leaves little hrs a week to do so and have any ounce of family interaction.

 Now sure, that's not to say that the cost of living is the CEO's fault or problem but when your problems are taken into consideration as the worker ants of the company you WILL produce better for the CEO and will naturally have a better work environment for everyone.

Again, This place has given me the platform to grow as a salesman and individual along with the confidence to thrive in negotiation- related situations and sales in general. 

The CEO is a thoughtful family-oriented man with high expectations. I respect him and what he has built.
I just believe that like all great businesses..to become and stay great you must remain dynamic while keeping your foundation principles. 
I think he does that pretty well and will continue to implement ways to better Easterns Automotive.

The job itself isn't the problem; it's poor management, lack of quality in the materials to clean the cars, and management doesn't take responsibility for the problems they create. Also, they expect you to detail the cars, but, don't want to pay you for the labor to detail cars. This is the perfect example of "You're damned if you do. You're damned if you don't." You don't always get a break, they complain when you take a break, they complain about the hour break you SHOULD get, they consistently try to call you to see how long you'll be before you get to a destination, they don't believe traffic exist (you're NEVER the only person on the road), and they're more than happy to make you work longer than you're supposed to. The only responsibilities you have are to transport cars, keep the lot straightened, and wash cars. Shouldn't be stressful, right?...

I'VE CURRENTLY BEEN AT EASTERNS 4 YRS. ON 4/25/2012, A TYPICAL DAY HAS ME HAVING STAFF MEETING DISCUSSING WHETHER I OR COLLEAGUES HAVE ANY OUTSTANDING DOCUMANTS NEEDED: PAYSTUB, AWARD LETTER, VERIFICATION OF RESIDENCE, NEW INFORMATION ON BANK PROGRAMS, ANY NEW VEHICLE OR PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE, NEW INFORMATION FROM THE CORPORATE OFFICE, ETC.. FROM THERE AT MY DESK I CHECK ON MY APPT.'S; MAKE CALLS TO ESTABLISH FUTURE APPOINTMENTS, PROCESS CREDIT APPLICATIONS, PRESENT VEHICLES TO CUSTOMERS GIVING DEMONSTRATIONS OF OPERATING FUNCTION FEATURES IN FURTHERANCE OF SELLING PRODUCT OR VEHICLE.

There are very few places that have the kind of atmosphere I've experienced at Easterns in Hyattsville. There are times where management puts a bit of pressure on you, but that is what's expected in a sales driven environment. For the most part, it's a fun, laid back environment. Also, the fact that you are receiving pay based on your hours worked keeps the aforementioned pressure from being overwhelming. And with the ability to earn commission on aftermarket products and bonuses based on units sold is a strong motivator to do more than just meet sales goals.

A typical work day is a long 10-11 hrs but can easily be more hours. Managers are slow and customers will literally wait hours for a approval beacuse of their lack of efficiency in work progress. Used vehicles tend to have small issues but us as salesmen have to pay for repairs.. Completly unfair . Also if a customer decides they do not want to do a review my will not get paid on the deal even tho we spent hours with a customer and actually closed and sold the deal. Not the best place to work.

This Job is NOT for everybody! But if you’re not afraid to make lots of phone calls and represent yourself and the company you’re going to do really well. The key is to learn your products really well because that’s how you make your money. Other than that it’s decent money but you’ll sure be working hard for it if you’re not quick to learn the process and the system. I enjoyed the support and mentorship of my co workers 
and management. 

The employees here are more like a big family. The management staff has been with the company for a very long time and believe in it. They pretty much exclusively promote from within the company. You can grow organically and learn the entire company. The company is growing and feels like its here to stay.

I have enjoyed working at Easterns from my very first day. They gave me ample time and attention for training. By the time I was placed in my store I was confident and ready to do my job. My store managers give me just the right amount of support and space to perform well in my position. The environment is upbeat and motivating. If anyone's considering accepting a position with this company, you won't regret it.

I believe in this company. They will be around for along time to come.
They stand behind what they sell. They have always proven to be honest and reliable. The team at Easterns is exceptional. The owner is hands on the best I have seen in the business. He has an open door policy and keeps it that way. Every individual there tries their hardest to help each other.

I met some good men here. Some were friendly other were very competitive. A lot it felt like very dog eat dog type environment. To succeed in this company you have to meet all your sales goals and make the the right connections with the right people to move up. It might have been my favorite job but I’ve learned a lot from be there that I still apply in my work I do today. Very thankful for the opportunity.
