My experience at Johnson Lexus was fantastic. The work environment was positive, supportive, and truly conducive to professional growth. One of the standout aspects was the continuous availability of training programs, which were always accessible and tailored to help employees advance within the company.

The management team was dedicated to ensuring that every employee had the resources and support needed to succeed. They provided clear and consistent guidance, making it easy to understand expectations and excel in my role. This consistency created a sense of stability and confidence in the workplace.

The pay at Johnson Lexus was excellent, reflecting the company’s commitment to valuing its employees. This competitive compensation, coupled with the ample opportunities for advancement, made working there even more rewarding.

The colleagues and staff at Johnson Lexus were incredibly helpful and collaborative. From day one, the team was welcoming and willing to assist with any questions or challenges that arose. This camaraderie fostered a strong sense of community and made the workplace enjoyable.

In addition to the supportive environment, the opportunities for professional development were abundant. The training programs were comprehensive and designed to equip employees with the skills and knowledge needed to advance their careers. This focus on development was evident in the numerous success stories of employees who had grown and progressed within the company.

Overall, Johnson Lexus is an exceptional place to work, offering a combination of a positive work environment, supportive colleagues, excellent pay, and ample opportunities for professional growth. I highly recommend Johnson Lexus to anyone seeking a fulfilling and rewarding career.


I’ll start with the good. The shop is very tidy and well kept, the other technicians and shop foreman were always nice, and it’s somewhat easy to turn hours on a good day. However, none of that makes up for their horrendous schedule. 5 days a week working a Saturday (6 days) every month. It doesn’t sound bad at first but after several months it will take a toll. I’m not even sure how the 6 day is legal. And what’s even worse, when you talk to management about it they make it seem like you’re the only one who has a problem. In addition, communication between technicians, advisors, parts, management, etc is extremely flawed. The warranty administrator and other managers who review completed tickets LOVE back-flagging techs over any small discrepancy or for no reason at all. Coupled with advisors who aren’t even interested in selling work and constantly shorting you on hours, it’s amazing this place is able to stay fully staffed with techs. You are constantly rushed from one car into the next, building up a backlog of cars that have to be done when parts come in the next day, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. It’s clear that the Johnsons do not care about their employees and they are often found scolding employees who make the smallest of mistakes. Reflecting back now, even if the schedule was improved I doubt I’d ever want to return.

A typical day at work includes posting financing contracts that have funded for that day, posting car deals of cars that we sold into the ADP system, managing sales commissions for the sales associates, and assisting with various month-end tasks as well as assisting my co-workers with there duties.

I have learned a lot about the real world accounting cycle being here which has been much more beneficial than what you learn in the textbooks in school.  Real world experience is so much better then trying to learn from a textbook.

Management is decent here.  I like my boss but once you get to the people above him the management is not as good.  The co-workers I deal with on a daily basis are very enjoyable to work with.  Couldn't ask for better co-workers then what I have now.

I enjoy accounting and for that reason I enjoy mostly everything about my job, especially being able to reconcile accounts and seeing the work that I have accomplished after cleaning an account.

The hardest part of the job is that there is so much going on at the same time it can be hard to keep up with everything that has to get done.  However, even though this can make things challenging, it makes the day go by really fast and you feel you have accomplished a lot during your day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay can be good but it can be brutal if you aren’t in the top 5% of performers. The were people on the sales floor making minimum wage while very few made close to 200k. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No one will tell the owner the truth. Corporate has a very hard time saying truth to power so if you aren’t at the top you are very unprotected. The owner has been heard  referring to the staff as his “work dogs”. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Two faced. Extremely profit focused. A few people are nurtured and everyone else has to fend for themselves. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Most of my time was spend interfacing with corporate and dealing with a very detached general manager who’s main skill is having married into the owners family. I wish it were better because there are some hard working people in the company, but most of my day was spent checking off boxes for corporate.  The best parts of my day were training my team and helping them feel supported.

Over the two years that I sold for this dealership, they changed GS's three times. With each one, they way they handled the salesforce, you had to re-invent the way you were to conduct business. I am a very honest person and some of the things had to do, I didn't like.
I did learn alot about the tech. side of the cars, and about the different type's of people you came in contact with on a daily basic. I enjoy meeting and working with the different type of customer's. The hardest thing about this industry, is the amount of time away from family. I worked 60 to 65 hrs. per week. After being an independant salesman for over 28 years,and with my wife working with me for the last 7 years, I missed our family time.
If I was the one you chose for this opportunity, travel would not be a problem, because my wife would go with me.

I love working on my own schedule. I enjoy driving and learning all the new safety features on all the Lexus models. The training modules for certification were short, enjoyable, and to the point.
The communication instructions to drivers could be better. Drivers are sometimes put into embarrassing situations due to poor communication between sales, and driver coordinator; which leads to errors and a bad reviews The sad problem is the driver always gets the blame. No one will man up and admit they dropped the ball. Everyone is in fear of losing their job. This type of environment is very difficult to maintain a positive attitude. Management sees the high turnover but has not been able to resolve the problem. 
I guess  car dealerships survive on turnover.

Management really looks out for you. As a sales associate though, the hours and days can be super long, and there will be days where you may need to come in on your days off to talk with prospects you may have personal connections with. At MY location everyone was super relaxed, friendly and willing to help one another out, especially on the sales floor. It wasn’t like your traditional steal your prospect environment. Communication was made on who would help who. The culture and work environment was great, and at my specific location I had a lot of assistance from managers starting off on the sales floor, which helped tremendously. 

P.S. The owner does pop ups and surprise visits, but he’s really cool as well!

Company has horrible communication system. I also feel they do not know what priority is. They do not care for their employees. My typical day at work is pleasant, I enjoy what I do and who I work with. I have learned some things about title work which is very interesting. My manager is the greatest. He is one of the best manager's I have ever had. It is ashamed the company does not let him manage a thing. I enjoy everyone I work with each and every day. I find the hardest part of my job is going in to a part time job, after being fired from a full time job. If I did not love the job so much I would not have went back for 20 hours a week. The most enjoyable part of the job is seeing some of the greatest people in the world two and a half days a week.

Managers are clueless on how to boost morale and so they throw horrible bonus structures to try to get people to sell more cars. Also, while at the same time pushing away deals because it doesn’t profit them enough. 
Facility was terrible to work at, have to walk 2-3 blocks down the road to get vehicle to show customer because dealership and parking lot is a cluster as your sharing a building with Hyundai and parking lot with Maserati!
Managers from my experience were rude and seemed very stressed out all the time so they quit also. 
Pay plan is fully commission based and is structured by tier. Won’t make any real money unless you sell 25+ cars/mo but will still make under industry average. 



Johnson Automotive is a great place to learn if you want to stay in the automotive industry for long term. You’ll love most of your coworkers and develop a bond over a mutual sense of loathing for corporate. It’s very clear that the higher ups of JA corporate are intensely out of touch with the staff of the individual dealerships. Current management team of my former location was absolutely stellar. The owner DJ has been known to periodically prowl the dealerships. The company will brag about being a family and supporting one another, while at the same time having mass furloughs.
