old school environment , the exotic cars do not have Usa warehouses , so parts are constantly shipped from overseas , resulting is have to be extremely careful of checking shipped parts for damage , quickly and diligently , parts delivers can be upwards of sevezlr hundred packages and various invoices and inventory  process and stocking locations making parts distribution to techs and deliveries and sales to various shops a challenge, the deliveries from the various ups and other shippers can be heavy , and body parts must be inspected carefully as the price of the parts is insane , as well as the time to get said parts , the management is underpaid , and not the fairest or the most intelligent , stressed out , not the best trained. if one is hired for shipping and receiving don't expect any advancements , as one a good shipping and receiving employee is on the job the management will be be  wanting that employee in that position as its all day long and having some one in that position that is trusted by the manager and parts sales guys is important , to the daily operation , so a good shipping and receiving guy is worked and won't get a chance to move to parts sales even if that person has a strong previous  experience. there is a long list of people whom have been hurt on the job due to the parts manager pushing the shipping and receiving employees , the exotic cars have expensive parts and the customers are demanding , the techs are well trained and highly intelligent , the parts supply being the week link in this company it is surprising that that theses highline  cars do not have a good parts inventory behind the no Usa ware houses , bently and rolls royce are surprisingly not able to compete with with Mercedes bee as far as parts supply  yet the factory reps are snobby , the exception being Austin Martin a well built  and classy car that also doesn't have a Usa ware house , Mc Claren is a race car built for those that can afford such toys , basically hot wheels for rich boys , rolls and gently are just big tanks with yesterdays tech, they are the status symbols for the entertainment and athletes while the big boys whom truly utilize these veichals don't spend a cent unless they are earning one can easily determine the economy if theses guys ands gals are repairing their vechales 

The management here needs a lot of work. I don't know if the other O'GARA company is like this, but the one in westlake needs improvement. I understand it is a big company that is selling exotic cars, but it should not stop them from giving their employees/coworkers the time of day when it comes to needing information. How do the management expect their employees to sell and take care of the customers if they can't take care of their employers first. The first 2-3 months of working for the company, it was terrible. I couldn't rely on the management to help answers any of my questions and/or concerns. I had to rely on my coworkers or people in the different departments (ex. service, sales, porters or parts) to help me out. They like to do things a certain way here which I clearly was not informed and/or taught how things were done here. Luckily my coworkers were really understanding and helpful. I am not going to lie; I am scared to ask for help with anyone else if the people who I am friends with or the coworkers that I talk too aren't available... The benefits and the things we get from the company are amazing, but your independence really gets tested in this company.

Good for transitional networking. Management are poignant in letting you know all the downfalls in other coworkers and mamangerent. Too much drama and talking behind people’s back.  I know this from experience and from them hearing them yelling at other coworkers. Yelling in the showroom and through hallways. The staff for sales is alright only because of the lack of positivity and proactiveness in the managers.

During interview management promises training and that the company has processes and procedures in place. None of it is true. Request for training are not entertained even when more than one employee is requesting it. Upper management  shows favoritism and doesn't want update methods to make the office more efficient. Lots of back and forth and nothing written in Policy and Procedures and when one is presented management does not follow what is written

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Waiting all day for customers

No raises, no incentives, no training, don't really know who is in charge, lots of bad things to say not to many good ones.  Most people are promised things when they start but quickly see that nothing will actually happen. Saddest display of management I've ever seen.  People that actually physically threatened other employees got a raise while others who earn it don't see the light of day. 

Given the luxury nature of the business and the clientele we serve, things are rarely dull. Like the majority of workplaces, your experience will be colored by the person who manages you. Each brand is run differently, both due to differing managing styles and different expectations from corporate. I enjoyed working here, but left to be closer to family.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The cars are very nice. Good locations.


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Toxic work environment. No room for growth. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Toxic and stressful. Low pay and little room for growth.

Poor management. Everyone is all for themselves. If you are not apart of the good old boys or good old girls club and you get treated unfairly. Managers normally hire friends who are not qualify to get the job done. Too much talking behind others back. They talk about process but never follows them.

Revolving door for management and staff. Lack of talented managers and rotating door has collected many bad employees. Horrible HR department with glass half empty attitude always looking for a problem to keep their job. Stay away.
