Frank Leta Auto Group

Frank Leta Acura has been an excellent company to work for so far. I have been employed here a little over 6 months so far and I really enjoy coming in to work everyday. They own a few dealerships in the area that are fairly big operations  but I still feel like I work for a smaller family operated business where everyone is important to the company. They do really care about your work/life balance. 
 I had no prior experience in auto sales, but I have been in the hospitality Industry for most of my career prior which proved valuable to them as they had a base of customer service to train on. They are very committed to training their employees and it never stops even if you have been here for years and years. So I never feel like I have been left hanging and on my own they really want to make people better as long as they are willing to learn and put in the work.  
Coming from the hotel industry it was a big change for me but I noticed it was going to be a good fit for me once I realized I was watching videos and doing research on vehicles that I would have been in my spare time anyway and thought to myself "I'm getting paid for this right now".  
 Overall it is a great company to work for it can be a little stressful as all jobs are but I have fun at work, the hours can be long but I feel a sense of accomplishment most days so I don't feel overworked if that makes sense.  The training can be intense and seem unfruitful at times but at the end of the day and the end of the month everything we train on has some sort of impact in one way or another and Apparently that kind of training and care for employees is not seen very often in this industry. It's been a long time since I have been content and actually eager to go into work. There's no longer that dread of "Oh man I really don't want to work today".  It was a great switch for me and I am happy to be part of this great team that they have built here. 

General staff is pretty fun to work with! If you have questions your team members are cool and willing to help. Training manager is full of himself, acts like he's god's gift to the dealership. Some of the other managers are ok but they play favorites. If you are doing average sales or below they say they will train you to make you better but they don't. The morning meeting are just that, morning meetings. Only a few of those meeting do they actually do any kind of training which is minimal. Managers and the training manager say that the Monday Wednesday and Friday training sessions are training but in all reality it is only to inform you of something that could of been sent in an email or your manager could of told you about. Pay plan is not the best. Yes they pay a high draw but you have to sell alot in order to even see a commission. If you decide to work there be sure that you want to and be on guard of management.

I have been working for Frank Leta Acura for nearly ten years. They are a company that wants you to do your best in life as well as work. 

Each day the management team starts with a small training class to make sure everyone is comfortable and confident working with clients. We then have one on one sessions to ensure we get the help we need with our customers. The best assessment of the management team is they lead by example. When you are having difficulties, they step in to help. 

The culture is very positive and upbeat. When you walk into work for the day, you are not greeted with negative attitudes but with encouragement.

There is no such thing as the perfect job. I know with any company, you can always find things to improve. At Frank Leta Acura, they care and genuinely want you to succeed. As I mentioned in the review title, this is a great place to have a career.

In my time working at Frank Leta Honda, I did overall enjoy my job. My coworkers were great people to work with and be around, but management had their minds in another place at the time. There's not many places you can work where you can say your coworkers are like family, but this was it. The detail team I worked with was amazing. They helped me through some tough jobs, taught me new things, and overall made me feel at home, at work. The management I was introduced to seemed to only care about their commissions and themselves. To us it was a fun job and eagerness to assist people, but to them it was money and money only. I feel like it'd be a decent place to work now, but I was in there at the wrong time.

I started with Frank Leta Acura in August. I started selling used vehicles and was completely new to the auto industry. Frank Leta Acura has a great training and support structure implemented. They're willing to put in the work and time to make sure you're successful if you're willing to do the same. This isn't a clock in and clock out on time kind of job. That's really the only negative I have to say. The team is great to work with and everyone genuinely cares about one another and each individual's success. Since starting here I have noticed a tremendous amount of growth not only professionally but personally. 

They require lots of follow up calls with customers but does not allow enough production time to work with the customers coming in to the store to make a decent income. They say that you will work 40 hours a week and get time off with family but in order to make a decent income and have a balanced work life you must work way over 40 hours. They took away the commission based salary that most sales people are used to and replaced it with a pay scale that honors working on the phone and not much off of selling the cars but still want you to sell 20 or more cars a month. The pay for the car volume is depressing if you have ever worked at a different traditional dealer.

I was here from April-August 2022 without any training they like to push their sales reps to make sales without that training. The GM will push you out the door if he doesn't like you as a person even if you're numbers are better than their "veteran" sales team no room for growth and when you ask questions because they didnt train you they will act like you are stupid and don't give you a proper response. I don't recommend working here because they'll have you go pick up their lunch and never train you. Had to figure mostly everything out myself did great they didn't like that. I wish everyone who works here or has intrest the best of luck.

I currently work of the Ofallon Honda location and it is the best place by far to work in the car industry. Managers are very understanding if you need time off and working extra hours (like you would in any car sales position) is compensated very well with a great pay plan. Paid off commission and bonuses. Also the staff here is my family. They put a great deal into creating diversity and a great working environment. They train you to be the best. They don’t expect greatness right away or all the time but will train you on how to get there. 

Not a bad place if you are fresh to the car business or new to the management side of the business.  Very process driven, which isn’t necessarily bad, but sometimes gets in the way of actually selling the car.  Lower end of the payscale for mgmt in StL, but would be worth it in the right environment.  The amount of reporting is mind boggling.  The amount of time spent analyzing said reports is a major waste of time.  The cherry on top- people in charge of all the reporting are immature, inappropriate, children.  Owners are friendly, not too involved.  They have just put the wrong people in charge of the dealerships.  I’ll give it a 4/10.

Working at Frank Leta has been an amazing experience. At Frank Leta they look for people that will fit our team, rather than the best salespeople. Culture is the most important thing here, and because of that, everyone gets along and the work days are always fast and fun.
The managers genuinely care about the workers as people, not just what we can provide for the company. During my first month the GSM gave me a crash lesson on financial literacy and how to make sure that I'm not just succesful now but also in the future. 
This job is really fun, challenging in the right ways, and gives you an opportunity to start a career. I would highly recommend interviewing!
