Lake Auto Group

I've been with Lake Ford for 10 years, and it's been an incredible journey from the very beginning. I started in sales right out of college with no previous experience selling cars. Thanks to Lake's outstanding training program, I was able to build the skills and confidence needed to become successful in the industry.
After finding success in sales, I was promoted to Finance, where the training and development continued. I spent seven rewarding years in Finance before being promoted to Sales Manager. Today, one of the most rewarding parts of my job is training and mentoring others. Helping people reach their full potential and watching them succeed is what I enjoy most.
What truly sets Lake Auto Group apart is the culture. Over the years, we've built something that's unlike any other dealership. We're more than coworkers—we're a family and a team that genuinely supports one another. As a family-owned and operated business, Lake Auto Group truly cares about its employees. You're never treated like just another number. You're valued, appreciated, and made to feel like part of the family.
I'm grateful for the opportunities I've been given over the past 12 years, and I'm proud to be part of an organization that invests in its people and creates an environment where everyone has the chance to grow and succeed.

Days at work were normally busy which I liked. I learned alot of things about cars and about how to show good customer service and how to start a conversation with everyone.

Management was okay, but some of the managers had the attitude of "I can't be bothered with little things." So when there were little questions no one wanted to answer them and you would have to figure it out for yourself.

My co-workers were great. I loved all the people I worked with and that is one of the reasons I was working there.

The hardest part of my job was trying to make the manager happy. It took a lot to make her happy and even then there was always something she didn't like.

The most enjoyable part of my job though was getting to know a lot of different people.

I have been working for Lake Ford for about a year and a half now and I cannot say enough good things about them. My direct family has been dependent on me to help them when they need me because of Cancer. Lake Ford has not only worked with me to let me leave if I need to in the middle of the day to assist them but has been completely understanding of the situation. In return It has made me a very hardworking employee to know that my job has my back and understands personal life can have direct impact on job performance. The Managers all want to see you succeed and will help you do so. Plus the dealership is just absolutely beautiful compared to 90% of the other dealerships out there. I do not see myself leaving such a great company anytime soon! 

I have worked for Lake Auto Group for a little over 10 years in a couple different departments (sales and service) and at both locations (Ford and Chevy). During this time I have come across many colleagues who would share how they believe the grass is greener somewhere else. However, almost every one of them found their way back at some point to Lake Auto Group. I believe the tone of security with attention to aiming our group towards excellence is drawn from the leadership of this company. They daily strive to make adjustments or try new methods to better us all. I would encourage anyone to find a position here and buckle in.  

I was a sales consultant for 3 years for Braeger Ford. It was a great atmosphere to go to work everyday. All the managers did all they could to make sure you had all the necessary tools to be as successful as possible. We had a great group of employees that helped one another so that everyone had fun and were successful. I took my drive and what i was taught from the managers to be very successful. The only reason i left was an opportunity presented itself that i couldn't pass up. I miss everyone at Braeger Ford. Feel fortunate to have an opportunity to work for Braeger Ford.

Eh, benefits suck. Pay is good. Sales managers are great, upper management is terrible. Belittling, constantly telling you you’re not working when you are. Get yelled at for standing outside and enjoying the weather with your co-workers for 20 minutes when “we have cars to sell”. Owner is on the showroom floor with his shoes off yelling about some contractor or his wife constantly.  Overall not a good place to work there are plenty of more rewarding sports that value work life balance. 

Management in the agency has gotten worse throughout the years i worked (5+ years) they do not care about your advancement in growth or give you a raise unless you keep asking for it. Ford has gone through 5 techs in my years of working there. Management picks and chooses the jobs you get and gives the high paying jobs to the techs that been there longer its not equal. Hard to reach 80 hours every two weeks because all they do is paint bumpers and rust jobs. 

Long hours.. Yes they do close at 7 But when you work every day it gets rough. 

Awesome sales staff 

Certain managers did more than others 

All in all, Lake teaches a lot of a role that you wouldn’t use else where so that’s a benefit that I know more than I should have for down the line job. 

Demo is a plus but isn’t needed because you could work elsewhere have better family hours and make the same if not more money. 

The management team was very good to me here.  I was able to grow, learn and take on new challenges regularly.  The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly.  People from different departments were able to collaborate and work together effectively.  Friends and family that were referred for business were treated excellent.

Very good place to learn sales skills. The environment is comfortable and the sales and mangement staff were always very helpful. I think they work hard to give you the tools needed to succeed in the automobile business.
