Martin Management Group

Pretty much everyone above your immediate manager undervalues you and the role you play in the company. Most are underpaid with the promise of performance bonuses that are almost unachievable and the structure of the pay system is setup in that fashion. Service writers are over worked and lose their monthly bonuses over nonsensical trivial scores that they themselves can't control. Technicians are underpaid and undervalued (I speak for the majority, as there is a minority that are treated special for lack of a better word). Sales people are routinely treated unprofessionally by management. The system is rigged in the favor of the upper management and owner so that their empty promises produce results and the workers receive next to nothing in their favor. Avoid this company at all costs, the environment is toxic. 

CEO and BDC manger follows certain guidelines to ensure that there company produces growth by encompassing a 100% Turnover rate as the pathway to Immediate success through its BDC. The CEO plays a vital role in the workplace culture and makes the job more difficult by setting expectations that are out of the control of there employees. Feels` that the best way to keep employees are by treating the tenured employees wrongfully, to guide them to quit. Which in returns helps the new hiree` from feeling intimidated by not having sufficient expertise or knowledge in the field. Customers are great but the Management is pretty upsetting. I wouldn't recommend the position of a BDC representative/receptionist to anyone who is actually looking for advancement through this company.

I found a home when I found this dealer group. This company is full of great people to work with and for, I have enjoyed my 4 years here and look forward to many more. Although the upper management has gone through some changes in the time that I have been here everything is changing for the better. The Martin Family has treated me great and it is nice to see an owner so involved in day to day business. If you are looking to join a Team that wants to win look no further, This dealer group is growing with the second generation running it while most others are selling out to large corporations.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Many of the folks at individual stores are good people.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
They don't care about anything but money.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Poor infrastructure. The company has outgrown many of the folks in senior management. Decisions are slow and incorporate no insight from the field. Everything is focused on bringing in as much money as possible and paying as little as possible to everyone at each store but the GM.  If they find someone who will work for less money, you will be replaced. As an employee, you have to pay for coffee. That tells you everything that you need to know.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stress. Long hours. Little money. Streams of lies.

This dealership feels like working on a sinking ship. Management, although nice, are hanging on by a thread as it seems they have zero management skills or the know how to get their team motivated. 

I'd say the only reason they keep employees is because there isn't time to look for new jobs, yet everyone is always talking about other places they'd like to work. 

I'm not a disgruntled employee. I'm not looking for a new job. I'm just being honest in my review. 

Time off to spend with our families would be a nice start. And 40 hour work weeks.

They definitely get the most out of each employee for the littlest pay possible.

This building is in need of CPR. You put your heart and soul in this place just to be replaced. I was the 6th service  manager in 3yrs. This family own, idiot ran corporate management, doesn't understand loyalty or hard work. I built a good team out of misfits. Now one with experience in automotive wants to work there because of its reputation. My team had raw talent and they were starting to shine. Outside vends and manufacture reps couldn't believe the news, we had just had 3 of the best months ever... It's just a joke. Don't take my word for it, ask others in the market they will all tell you the same.

Actions prove who someone IS, words just prove who THEY want to be. Numbers don't lie.  When a company goes thru a handful of vp's and a handful of GM's in a year's time. There's A serious issue. All real car guys stay away they are a joke . For me I have always known that I am as good as the people I surround my self with . They have  forgotten that or they never learned it .The guys posting good reviews are their current employees trying to help to over come their terrible reputation. It took many years for them to get this low and it will take many many years to get out of it .

Poor Corp Management!  The Martins do not need to be in the car business.  They have several dealership but most if not all are loosing money left and right.  Mr. Know It All can't keep a good staff.  The group has had around 10 VP in the past five years or so and I would guess 20-30 Gm during that time.  Nashville has had 10 or so since ownership and the Bowling Store has had 10-15 in the past 5 years.    This company has poor insurance and benefits.  They think of nothing but the Martins.  All employees including Corp. Management are disposable to the Martins.

I worked for this company for 9 years prior to moving here to Nashville. I would say not a better place to work as this one. If you look at the bitter reviews listed below they are from EXemployees. These are people who were okay with taking money for no results. No sales person was selling 17 cars here then all of sudden left. The only people who left were the ones who could not deal with being managed and did not know how to do their job. We don't currently have 17 sales staff between both Subaru and Hyundai but we will. The store keeps improving and excited to see what the future brings.

the most unorganized company I ever worked for. there is no process here you need to improvise on most areas. and when you try to bring a process to organize things you've been told this is how we've been doing it and we don't like change. payroll was often a mess. controllers quit one after another. It is rather a large group However it's been rung like a mom and pop Dealership. I do not recommend to waste your time Because you will quit after a few months. At least three general manager have quit in the last two years. That tells you the story
