Len Stoler Inc

A typical workday at Len Stoler Lexus consist of many things. The service department opens at 7. In order to get ready for the incoming business we have to set up shop. This means having the lanes clear and having the cones set accordingly. When the customers arrive we greet and show them to their designated service advisor. Once the customer is through with service advisor we receive a ticket. This ticket just has the rundown of what will be done on the customer vehicle. We then park the car and give the ticket to the technician. Throughout the day the porters will set out refreshments and drinks for the customers. Another duty is shuttle driver, we transport the customers to their designated location. Vehicle transportation is big Lexus picks up a customer car and leaves a loaner for the customer to use. The customer car is then worked on and returned when the work is finished. At the point the loaner is picked up. This is typical day at a Lexus dealership.

Note: I am talking about being a salesman.
This dealership is not that fun to work for and the general manager is the "do what I say, not what I do" kind of manager. He only is worried about himself and his friends. He will be of no help to you being the new guy. If you tick him off prepare yourself to have a target on your back. Besides the management, it wouldn't be that bad of a place to make a lot of money, but there isn't that much sales traffic in this dealership. The job isn't the worst ever, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who hasn't ever done this type of work before. Oh and don't let them blow your head up with the idea that there's unlimited earning potential and that your could make 75-100 thousand a year. The only way that is going to happen is if your take the managers position.

If you’re looking for job security it’s great. They have such a hard time finding people to work there do to their reputation, that they can’t bring someone in to replace you. The pay is below average in most departments, but if you sacrifice home life, morals, and your personal values you can definitely make it and grow in the company to earn a fair wage. I learned a lot from the company, not only about my field but about people, corruption, and myself. It’s not all bad there, you can make friends and good relationships. It can be an opportunity for you to use as a stepping stone to further your career, just don’t let the manipulation and deceit of people in “power” trap you with false promises. 

-owners do not care about employees
-no room for growth
-if management needs something done it has to be done at once no matter what the task is. good luck if you need help yourself
-no accountability from employees or management
-higher up management WILL try to swindle you out of your hard earned money and threaten to fire you if you stand up for yourself
-long hours, employees are expected to give up personal lives to be at store ALL THE TIME and if you do not you are looked down on as 'not a team player'
-bonuses are offered but near impossible to meet goals to obtain
-day to day is affected by how a manager is feeling that day(good mood/bad mood)
-shady car sales people with no proper training; no proper training in any department (you get hired and they say good luck!)
-narcissistic personalities thrive here

If you wanna do nothing but warranty work all day, this is the place for you. Management is a revolving door, writers are a revolving door, techs are a revolving door, you get the idea. Pay is weekly which is nice but other than that, the hourly is typically low and they'll try to sell you on the idea that its because their jobs pay higher. (which isnt wrong) but they dont sell the higher jobs, so you get pretty much mostly warranty work. No support from management, they usually have a technician handing out work so your paycheck is either determined by the amount of brown nosing you can do OR your ability to do all of the harder work, faster than anyone else. 

I made the move to Stoler Automotive because of my overall research. They are a progressive company always looking to grow and be on the cutting edge of technology. Employee satisfaction is just as important as customer satisfaction. As I write this review, we have a date set this month for all of our Technicians to step onto a Redwing truck and select a pair of work boots. This is something we do every year. This is in addition to the recognition and celebrations for every milestone we achieve as a team or as an individual. If you are in the industry here on Long Island, NY-I invite you to stop in and I would be happy to sit down and have a conversation about a career with our group.

The work environment was toxic. I quit my second month. People spreading rumors, talking behind the backs of others, or being sexually harassed. The sad part is even managers didn’t stick around - so many managers came in and out the door from the time I’ve worked there. And also because they seem to never want to pay their employees, they tell you that you have a set salary, but call out sick or go home for being sick for half the day expect your pay to be short. And when it came to commission - it was the biggest headache ever because they never wanted to give you the money. They always came up with some stupid reason on why they have to hold your commission and when you finally get it the pay amount is always wrong.

A typical day there for me was constant struggles, demanding and rude coworkers, Ignorant Supervisors and constant manipulation.
Management is horrible, they do not care about the hard working employees and are easily disposed of. I watched this throughout my almost 3 years there, it got progressively worst. The hardest part was not the customers but how poorly the Management treated the customers when they had troubles with the dealerships. The only enjoyable factor within Len Stoler was when you made a customer happy or were able to give them what they needed. That Satisfaction was the only thing that made working there worth it.

Lexus was a cool place to work. Everyone working there were nice people it felt like a family. If you’re looking for your first job then this is perfect for you, but if you are looking for great pay you won’t find it here as a porter specifically. Porters do a lot of work and DO NOT get paid enough for all that we do. I honestly think porters should get $16-$20 a hour. But when I was there it was just $11 a hour, that’s it.. you cannot survive off of that unless you’re working 80hr weeks.

I have worked for the Len Stoler group in 2 of their NY locations and have to say they are a great company to work for. The owner comes to the dealership every week and actually takes the time to stop in and say hello to everyone. He always asks if there's anything we need and how things are going. He truly cares. Upper management is dialed in to every aspect of the dealership and invests in your training and growth. I could go on forever but I'll just end with I strongly recommend you consider a career at any of the Len Stoler inc locations in NY or Maryland
