My Auto Group

I understand that this is an auto sales position, and it requires long hours; but I felt drained every single day. It seemed like everyone else was getting leads thrown at them multiple times a day; whereas I would get MAYBE one a week. 
Management can get very pushy with customers who need time to think about their purchasing. I lost a number of sales due to this. I would call them the next day after they came in; and they would say that they loved me and my sales approach. They would have bought from me if not for the manager who came after and tried to push them into buying a car without being given time to think. I understand that this is can be critical to getting a sale, but I don't feel like management trusted me when I would tell them that the customer really DID need another day to think about things.
Competition between sales reps was very cutthroat as well. I would have customers who would come looking for me while I was there and not busy. They would get taken and the sale would be lost.
During slow periods when there were no customers unassisted and nothing else to do, I would constantly be told to go outside and grab customers in the lot.
Also, if you identify as anywhere left of moderate politically, you will not have a good time. The management and a good chunk of the staff is VERY right wing. I felt very uncomfortable with how often politics would be discussed. I tried to stay out of it, but I would be singled out because they knew that I identified as a Democrat and liberal. 
I WILL say that the owner genuinely cares about the staff. He would show up often and would always make sure to stop by and ask how I was doing. 
Also, their community involvement is second to none. There is always some sort of donation drive going on, and they give back frequently.

A typical day at My Auto was varied. Most often, there was a constant flow of business, but there were some slow days. My role included washing cars that came in for repair or service, as well as detailing sold cars. The salesmen usually gave us a heads-up a few hours or even a day or two notice regarding a detail. However, we were also given many "spot deliveries"; or deliveries that needed to be done immediately, with no advanced notice. This often created chaos within the detail department. I was often asked to stay beyond my designated hours, and often, work on an off-day. The workplace was fast-paced, but usually we did not have any work flow problems. The lay out made it easier for employees to communicate and get necessary tools and/or materials. The hardest part of the job was the lack of training before advancement. The expectations for certain advancements were made unclear. Management would often put down there employees, especially when putting them in an advanced position before properly training them. The most enjoyable part of this job was the employees within the detailing department. We were able to work together, problem solve, and communicate efficiently.

The turnover rate is quite dramatic with people coming and going far more often than at any other place I have worked. They will fire people for not "taking a beating" and the general attitude seems to be "it is what i is" and "you'll figure it out" when things get tough. They do not have your back and put profit over people on a daily basis. They scramble to fill spaces when they are short handed and hire all the wrong people (which does not help their turnover a bit).... Lastly they will dangle a carrot on a stick over your head to try and keep you around rather than fixing issues that are in dire need of fixing. Long story short if you don't want to be the victim of a trickle down of irresponsibility do not work here.

What is the best part of working at the company?
They let you do the job you were hired for without micro management.
They strive to keep employees engaged and offer many opportunities for you to succeed and grow within the company.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I didn't really experience any great stressor's

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
very positive & upbeat!
Staff was very helpful and team orientated

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
very busy, no time for clock watching and that's just how I like it.
Time flew by because there was always so much to do.

Start the day clock in if your hourly if your salaried then you start the day and get your things ready from the day before and the day in general 
I believe I learned to be proficient with time and customers 
Management is different as opposed to other places 
The culture is awesome different personalities everywhere!
The hardest part of the job is probably keeping the customers happy while keeping the flow of work going smoothly 
The most enjoyable part is interacting with coworkers and people who come in 

Showrooms and front of service department are nice, beverages and snacks available at no cost. Auto Techs are usually very good at their jobs, Sales department is decent also. Detail department tries their best to provide clean and very well detailed cars for waiting customers from service and for cars being sold brand new by a salesman. Summers are hot, humid, in service area. Tends to be busiest in the middle of the month.

The title says it all, the management team in the building that is there daily is great, the upper management that shows up once a week is awful and inconsiderate, they are not around to see things are on a daily and like to judge based on the few hours a week they are there. The building is way outdated, looks like it hasn’t changed since the 1980s and they refuse to spend the money to make it a proper looking dealership. Hopefully the NEW owners actually care about the store and make progress into making a better place. The potential is there. 

Arrive at work, group meetings where you may be embarrassed in front of your fellow co-workers. Be micromanaged from there on to do everything while having others being held to a completely different expectations. Stay late most days to not get  a sale, and then have people who bring baggage to work. This place has new people being hired everyday. Workers tolerate that place more than actually want to be there. I watched 7 employees leave across the whole dealership in just 2 weeks. Terrible place. Thanks for the experience! 

The management of this company will find any way possible to cheat you of hard earned rewards. They will fight you tooth and nail for every scrap of compensation and expect a thank you for fixing a problem they caused deliberately. They take advantage of their workers and cheat their customers. The work environment is highschool on steroids. They will lie to you, to your face and cheat you until you catch them. 

Owners are very much involved, I see them every other day. High energy and positive work place, ownership and management really care about you. I have worked at several dealerships and feel the most valued here. They recognize talent and provide opportunity for growth. Great pay and benefits, you get 2 weeks paid vacation to start along with 401k match. Facility is outdated, however, they have plans to upgrade within the year to a brand new facility.
