Koch 33 Auto

Working as a VAC for Koch 33 has been an extremely rewarding experience, both personally and professionally. This role offers a dynamic mix of face-to-face customer interaction, lead management/generation, data-driven strategy and reach, and real-time problem-solving that keeps every day interesting and engaging!

My favorite aspect of the job is the constant interaction with customers. Whether it's outbound phone calls, email and text follow-ups or digital inquiries, there's a strong emphasis on relationship building and 'planting the seed'. As most of these customers are no longer in the market, you get to be the first point of contact, setting the tone for the rest of the customer's journey with the dealership.

Even though it's a customer-facing role, collaboration with the sales and management teams is a constant. You'll need to stay in the loop with fresh trades, inventory goals, current deals/promotions and other forms of acquisition strategies, making you a key part of the bigger picture!

Management is very accessible and hands-on, who is always available to answer questions, provide direction, help brainstorm strategy or word tracks and ensure your overall success. She genuinely cares about the team's success as well as providing a super positive and encouraging team-oriented atmosphere where you'll never feel like you're going at this alone. KPIs are clear, fair and communicated openly so everyone is on the same page each day. 

If you have a passion for all things automotive with strong communication skills, then I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fast-paced, supportive and rewarding role.

I love coming to work everyday. Each one even more different, challenging, and enjoyable than the last. Our culture is phenomenal. It's definitely a " second family" atmosphere . You can tell from day one. It isn't fake or phony. It's not like other places. They care. My day can definitely be chaotic at times. When it is, my teammates  have my back. Like I have theirs. Nobody is ever to "busy" or "good " to help eachother.  No matter what their title. I absolutely adore that about our team. My favorite part of my job is that I get to  help people.  To make a difference in their lives. The majority of which  having just been through going through a very traumatic and stressful situation. Be it answering simple questions, reassuring process and procedures are being followed correctly, or just being that understanding  sympathetic ear of reassurance at the end of a really rough day. We have all been there. I couldn't have asked for a better management team. Our collision center and  collision center office director's continue to set achievable goals . They personally stand by our sides giving us the knowledge, strength and tools to surpass each one. I beyond excited for our future, it's only getting brighter. Pfcc

Working at Koch 33 Vehicle Acquisitions Department was a descent into sales fire pit, a soul-crushing experience to be avoided at all costs. The core business model forces employees into demeaning cold calls for meager extra commission, prioritizing quantity over genuine customer relationships. This isn't a career; it's a desperate scramble fueled by a company that clearly values profit over the well-being and respect of its staff.
Adding to the misery is a management style defined by public humiliation and toxic competition. Our manager routinely plastered individual sales results across the company messenger, constantly pitting us against successful but irrelevant competitor stores. Forget constructive feedback; this was a daily public flogging designed to breed resentment. Furthermore, the "training" was a joke – generic corporate videos with zero personalized support. Koch 33 Auto in general fosters a culture of stress and burnout, treating employees as disposable cogs. If you value your sanity and professional dignity, heed this warning: stay far, far away.


Like ANY job, there are positives and negatives, and a lot of that has to do with who YOU are as an individual. My personal experience has been nothing short of amazing, however that is because I come to work and maximize my potential. I have taken full advantage of all the resources that have been laid out in front of me for several years that I’ve been with the company. If you come here to make friends and sit with your buddies during your working hours, this isn’t the job for you and you’re likely going to be one of the people leaving negative reviews about a company like this because you’ll feel like there are favorites and that you’re not treated fairly (when the unfortunate truth you have to face is that you just don’t work hard). Earning potential is and has been unlimited - but you have to put in the time and work. If you’re a goal setter & a go-getter, you will be successful in ways you never imagined.

Working in the Acquisitions Department at Koch 33 has been nothing short of amazing! From the interview process to training, and now operating independently, the experience has been smooth and rewarding. The support from management is phenomenal—they truly foster a fun, positive work environment while motivating us to be the best in our roles and as a team.

What really sets Koch Acquisitions apart is the opportunity to collaborate with reps from other Koch locations. This collaboration brings fresh perspectives, constructive feedback, and helpful tools that push us to grow and succeed.

Compensation is another strong point: a base salary, commission, and monthly bonuses mean your paycheck reflects your efforts. Plus, the work-life balance is just right—and best of all, when the workday ends, your work stays at work. That’s a rare and valuable benefit!

I’m incredibly grateful to be part of such a supportive and driven team. If you're considering a role at Koch Acquisitions, I highly recommend it!

If you like to make money this is the place! I had 0 sales experience when I started and in my first year I hit 100k. Most make more than that, top guy earns 20-30k a month.  My Managers work with me to succeed and help me grow. With so many stores, their are plenty of opportunities for advancement. It's like being a part of a motivational family. Through the pandemic, the family operated owners paid everyone's medical insurance through it AND for 2 months when we returned. I'm happy to go to work everyday, so many laughs, so much money, freedom, motivation. I seriously can not thank the owners enough for this opportunity. Great opportunity! Great Benefits! They understand family comes first! Unbeatable Training! Mad Money Making Place! Love my team! Grateful everyday I'm there! 

I have been with Koch 33 Auto for 11 years and have held many different positions with the dealership. I love the staff and the family like atmosphere. The Koch's truly care about the employees and the customers alike. They are constantly striving to improve the experience and grow the company. This is a great place to start your career, with lots of room for advancement (and job security). The benefits are good and the earning potential is amazing for those of us who do not have college degrees. There are a lot of talented individuals that work for the company, who constantly challenge you to be better. I am grateful for the opportunities that I have been given here and look forward to a very long and successful career with the company.

This company has nothing to offer its employees. The only "benefit" is that they pay a portion of your medical insurance. There is a 401k, but you have to be there a year to contribute and there is no employer match. You don't get any paid time off for the first year. After that, it's very minimal - 1 week vacation, 1 sick day. They expect loyalty and respect from employees, but treat them like garbage unless they're money-makers. If you stand up to upper management, you'll be told to leave. If you're not performing, you won't be talked to or coached, they'll just replace you. It's a "do as I say, not as I do" environment. There is no consistency. Policies change according to who you are.

I worked at Koch 33 Automotive for a few months as a detail technician. I worked a typical 40-hour week where I detailed new and used cars for customers and showcases. Management was fair while also providing necessary structure and sternness to keep people on task. There was always something to do and I was constantly on my feet and moving around. This job can take quite a bit of energy out of you by the end of the day, so you may be dissuaded from going out and having an active social life after work. The employees at Koch 33 are generally friendly and will greet you with a "hello" every morning, and just about everyone is approachable for anything you may need.

Recently let go after combined 2+ years of working. Management is very uncooridinated and the scheduling is very erratic. Pay is mediocre at best and just huge WARNING: DO NOT ASK FOR ADVANCEMENT!!  Had zero issues until i asked for a raise and after a performance evaluation there was multiple trips about being told what I was doing wrong and a file folder of mistakes that appeared from nowhere... never a mention of issues before asking for a raise.  If you are looking for a technician job and you stop here, all you need to do is ask the technicians and there is little good to be heard.
