Petes RV Center

Pete's RV could be a great place to work. The major downfall is management. There are directors that overwhelmingly play favorites to less than sub-par employees while knocking down actual workers. There is no support from the director level unless you're a pet. The pets get preferential treatment even if they're toxic to the workplace or undermining the business. The few good employees work tirelessly and get kicked for not doing more. Speaking up is not encouraged and no ideas that would improve the business will be heard. Expect long hours and mediocre compensation with no increases for years of work. Some directors have no idea what to do with their positions and continually ruin good policies with half-baked ideas that don't work. Meanwhile, refusing to address complaints and ignoring blatant disregard for rules and regulations. Training is infrequent and poorly done, for the most part. There are very few employees that have been there long enough to provide comprehensive instruction. Do not expect this business to change. No one there wants to hear it. 

Typical day at work is coming on site, reviewing incoming requests and openings as well as troubleshooting employee concerns. Throughout the day it's important to be good at prioritizing your tasks so that you can be sure urgent things are handled first as they come up. Owners are VERY hands on as well as all the Sr. Level managers/directors. They work with an open-door policy and make sure everyone feels heard. They actively work to hear the concerns if there are any from employees at all sites and where they can, work to implement changes even if the plan is slowly implementing changes over time. They have really made great strides in creating a welcoming and supportive workplace for all employees. Being a smaller company in the eyes of insurance carriers, the benefits rates are high - however the company pays a significant portion still to try to mitigate how much is passed on to the employee. They also have shifted from "Employees" to "Teammates" to help prioritize teamwork and really strengthen positive company culture. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pay was good, non-management co-workers friendly & tried to help the new person, but no time to really do so.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Owners/management absolutely awful! Micromanagement. Spying on your work, listening to recordings of your phone calls. Chastising you in a room full of other employees. Everybody seemed to HATE their jobs. Never experienced anything like that before.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The worst!! Extremely poor training. Felt like I was just set up to fail. Which apparently I did - was "not a good fit for the company".

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I really enjoyed the camaraderie with a handful of super nice employees. That, and the pay was the only thing keeping me there. Very stressful day-to-day. Could NOT make most customers happy, so very frustrating.

My time with Pete's has been nothing short of amazing. In particular the management has been wonderful, very understanding and kind with unmistakable passion for their jobs. I truly enjoyed working for a place that doesn't push nonsense. Everything done at Pete's has purpose and clearly explainable benefits for the customers. I've not seen a single instance of underhandedness nor lying, and in the day and age were in that's a rarity.  

perks and respect only for management and above. employees and customers not so much. pay rate and training promises not true only words.must arrive early and leave late due to not allowed to take uniforms home.no investment in employees your on your own.corporate corporate corporate and $ signs for company and owners is bottom line.beware of buying here also repairs take months and do not care who you are after the sale.you will get better respect else where.hope this helps good luck

Firstly, everything is broken or only works halfway and there is no support or SOP(standard operating procedure) material to reference to better do your job. Training is minimal and more of a “figure it out as you go” ordeal. Work culture is terrible and bonus structure is made so the goals are so high you will never reach them or get a bonus. Trying to do your job is another hurdle due to no standard software or dealer management system being used in the RV industry. Leadership is non existent and conflict resolution does not exist. 

as a graduating high school student and soon-to-be freshman at my local commuter campus, I knew my time at work was going to be very limited.  My boss gladly allowed me my first week off to adjust to my 18 credit hours while maintaining my spot on my schools cross country team.  They provide me with an adequate amount of resources that allow me to do well, and they let me work in a way that makes it easy for me.  Only being able to work 3-6 hours a week do to their hours, they still allow me to stay on staff with no questions asked.

I think that petes could be a good workplace and have a great environment for employees but it's not what it seems. Corporate greed and push, push, push. No yearly reviews for raises and the only way to progress is going through training which may take years to come. Communication is another issue between sales and service, unfortunately the technicians are at the lowest spot of the totem pole and can't be heard. A few great employees that are willing to work with you and help where needed but it's just not worth the headache. Too much work for too little pay especially with the rise of inflation. Sad to say it but this place will never change. 

What is the best part of working at the company?

Managers at the dealership

The BDC manager does not follow through with thi gs that are promised such as raises

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Inconsistent, no training for new hires after 3 days

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meetings and calling customers always expected to do more more more while they change everything or while the new hires are left to fend for themselves

My experience with Pete’s RV as an employee was very negative. The management is extremely poor, and the overall atmosphere is stressful — most people seemed to be in a bad mood all the time. If you need time off, you’re made to feel guilty, and there’s little to no support from supervisors. Micromanagement is constant, which makes the job even harder. Overall, it was a poor experience, and I would not recommend working here.
