Schomp Automotive Group

I worked for BMW. A typical day at work: You start off getting all of your calls out. You need to make 20 calls, 15 emails, 20 texts a day. (10 each for the first 2 months) You receive web leads that are distributed to you by 2 sales assistants or the Internet Manager. Based on your seniority and metrics, will determine the type of web lead you get. If new, you get the web leads that are for used cars without a phone number, sometimes you'll get them with a phone number but these leads are most likely for a car that has already sold. There is no issue with obtaining leads, but you'll find as you're new, you'll have more luck with walk-ins or answering the phones to get business. There is zero support as a Client Advisor. You have to find your own car in a lot of 1200 vehicles, if there is no gas, you have to find a porter which are busy moving cars to other lots, customers, doing landscaping or snow plowing.. So you have to pull someone from Detail who has a gas card to the "gas pad" to fill up the car. Then if the car is dirty, you have to take it through the Car Wash. If the car has a dead battery, you have to jump it.. If that doesn't work, then you have to drop it off in service.. If you can't find the car, you grab a second set of eyes and the second set of keys, going around the parking lots clicking down the alarm button or lock button to see lights or hear its alarm.. Can easily take 25 mins - 1 hour to look for a car, gas it up, wash it, jump it.. The one hour philosophy created a lot of anxiety for me.. There is no way to get a customer processed even if they say it's from when they agree to financial terms.. It's going to take anywhere from 3-5 hours to do a deal.. Each week, Team leads show you youtube videos on about goal setting and working more hours. But the reality is, if they provided the Client advisors some support, then they could be more productive, selling more cars and be with their clients.. Decrease the buying time - improving their NPS score.. Bonus, they wouldn't need to work more hours. You have 2 day shifts (8-6pm) and 2 night shifts (12-9pm) and 2 late shifts and 2 early shifts every Saturday. You get paid the same on each unit (new or used, 5k or 100k vehicle). You get a commission by selling accessories and extended parts and labor agreements. The training is a lot of fun and you're super excited to be a part of a great culture and company, but unfortunately it's not the same at the store.. They conduct monthly meetings, and if you're off that day or that time, you're expected to come in.. Leadership micromanages you and lie to you. For example. they'll say "it's the last month for rebates on all 2018s, but then you find out the next month, actually, it wasn't for all 2018's" They'll want to push the 2018's because finally they're rebates run out, but don't verify if all of them are on the lot ready for sell or organized in one area.. Leadership has even said "we can't give you the Client Advisors too much information, as you can't handle it". You're on teams, and the Team Leads are paid commissions based on their own teams performance.. My team lead and another one were the only ones that were very helpful to all the Client Advisors, whereas the other ones would prioritize their own teams.. So many opportunities too fail, in summary, it's a difficult job..

As an entry to mid-level graphic designer, I was able to advance my career through various positions. Although, the closer I worked with upper-level management, I noticed some severe organization issues. Managers struggled to communicate effectively among themselves. As a result, the marketing and graphics team struggled to attain a productive workflow. This company suffered from a severe lack of strong leadership. I had a succession of two inattentive managers over the course of my last 14 months with this company. Further, I NEVER RECEIVED AN ANNUAL REVIEW DURING MY 8 YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT. With every promotion, I WAS NEVER GIVEN THE PTO GRANTED TO OTHER EMPLOYEES. This is a company with a strong focus on the bottom line. I'm thankful for the experience and internal advancement. But, I would caution others to be wary when accepting promotions. This company will abuse their salaried employees time and commitment. As mentioned earlier, the environment becomes dysfunctional towards the top. From an hourly perspective, the pay was acceptable; although, a considerable amount of overtime was expected. 

There were also several employees that arrived to work drunk. These individuals created an unsafe and difficult environment. Human resources did little to amend the issue. I worked with a member on the marketing staff that arrived hung over or drunk to the majority of her shifts. It took three years and a serious outburst of misconduct for the company to notice this issue.

As a full-time employee and college student, I would recommend this company to those seeking entry level work. They were able to provide an accommodating work schedule. I was able to attend afternoon and evening classes. They are very understanding of parents with child care needs as well.

A typical day at Schomp involves managing a high volume of customer interactions within a fast-paced service environment. During my time there, I developed strong customer service, hospitality, and automotive service coordination skills, and the role offered continuous opportunities to expand my knowledge and capabilities. However, the management approach presented significant challenges. Expectations were consistently set at a very high level, particularly given the premium labor rates and services associated with the dealership. Management demonstrated limited empathy or understanding toward employees, often creating an environment where individuals felt undervalued and treated as replaceable rather than respected contributors. Work-life balance was not adequately supported. Employees were frequently discouraged from taking time off or using sick leave, and requests were often met with skepticism. The management style was heavily micromanaged, with little trust placed in staff to perform their responsibilities independently.
As a result, overall workplace morale suffered, and many employees expressed dissatisfaction due to feeling unrecognized for their efforts. Despite these challenges, the most rewarding aspect of the role was assisting customers—providing clarity, reassurance, and peace of mind regarding their vehicle service recommendations. Additionally, my coworkers were consistently supportive and were a positive and motivating part of the experience.

This company moving away from being a family business, and toward being a large national corporation. The work environment deteriorated over the last few months, lack of advancement opportunity unless you are willing to work much more than the average 40 hour work week. It is impossible maintain a good living wage and have a good work-life balance at this company. It's great if you have no family and no social life because there is definitely earning potential, but if you value anything besides work, perhaps your family, you will have to make major sacrifices. While I was there morale was down and just not an enjoyable work experience. Some management at this company is good, in my opinion some is unbearable, but i've heard mixed opinions just about everyone. This company does offer many benefits 401k with company match, health insurance, with vision and dental options, in addition to several others including attractive dealership discounts on vehicles after a time period with the company. Overall not an absolutely terrible place to work but definitely not for everyone. You can find the benefits offered here at many companies, so working here in my opinion is definitely not recommended.

Any amount of time spent working here is too long. In training, before you really begin, the work is made to seem utopian. You'll learn soon enough that this is far from true. You work way too many hours for the amount you are paid. Frequently you are required to stay for a 12-14 hour day. There is an "unlimited-time off" policy that is really just a lie. Management looks down upon anyone asking for time off. Favorites are given 90% of sales opportunities, and there is a very heavy "what have you done for Schomp lately" mentality when it comes to growth, or simple sales opps. The idea of growth is dangled like a carrot, but rarely are actual qualified people promoted to the position they deserve. Management includes egocentric, and downright unqualified personnel. Verbal abuse, and professional misconduct are the norm, and rarely is anything done to stop it. You are also constantly on edge that you'll be fired because of the unit, pvr, survey requirements. If you are with a guest all day, and did not finish your pipeline tasks, prepare to stay for several more hours (or until after closing time) until you have finished your tasks. It's not enough to actually sell here. You'll be serving time as a drone. 10/10 would not recommend

Great place to work with many great career paths and a competitive wage. There are so many positions available within the Schomp organization from the dealer level to corporate. On top of that probably one of the highest paying dealerships for technicians in Colorado with a very clear pay structure. You never need to ask for a raise! 

Personally I enjoy the culture that Schomp Subaru has cultivated. Employees have a very strong sense of comradery and are like a family here. We look out for each other. One of the best parts of working here is how much management strives to make sure all their employees are being heard and their needs are being met. Managers are constantly receiving training to help better empathize, understand and respond to the needs of their employees. 

Another great thing about Schomp is how we are acknowledged for our positive deeds and hitting our goals. Even small milestones receive praise. I feel encouraged to improve myself and my processes. Love it!

The only good thing I can say about the company is my own team members. Everything else is nonsense. Ive had upper managenent and lower management, other department heads, and even corporate leaders lie, threaten, or bribe me for things.

I wasnt provided with tools for the job, only some, so I had to buy my own. On top of that, there is no communication. Other departments blame eachother and leaders step on eachothers toes over ordering subordinates this or that. Issue with a supervisor? Good luck finding anyone that cares, even HR.

There is too much red tape at the company and management are all politicians so trying to get a straight answer about issues is difficult.

This is NOT family company. If you dont follow one policy to the letter you will be threatened with being fired even if sick and they will favor and not do anything to anyone they like that doesnt follow the same policy. They would rather play politics than care about work flow or anything.

If you favor your sanity, do not go here, they will lie and backstab you. They are there for themselves, not the team.

I worked there for 2 years, I made many friends, the people make the place great. The management fights you at every turn, they belittle and harass you into doing things outside of your job, they never praised the 999 things you did right but the 1 thing you did wrong was the end of the world, 3 managers lecturing and often yelling at you. The Shop foremen are wonderful, they were an absolute pleasure to work with. The salesmen were almost always good people, there's always a few who are shady and untrustworthy but that is the case in every workplace.

I enjoyed working with the cars, the discounts on parts was great, it was nice having a lift to work on my car, tire machines, brake cleaner. Free food on the weekends, I generally had a great time working there. It'd be the best place to work if it wasn't for the poor management and leadership. People work, you don't need to be a slave driver to get people to work hard.

Schomp Automotive is a great place for personal growth, career advancement, and collaboration within a team environment. Unlike other dealerships, Schomp encourages a team system that allows employees to focus on their strengths, and improve upon their weaknesses. Management does a good job of evaluating and promoting those who truly apply themselves and who's personal and professional goals are aligned to benefit the customer. As with any automotive industry job the hours can sometimes be long, and there can be pressure to be the best you can, but you are rewarded for your successes. The process training is top notch and is designed to help you succeed. Leadership training, fantastic benefits,  and 4 brand new state of the art facilities - can't be beat!

The culture at Schomp was vastly different than what I expected it was going to be.  They did a poor job framing the culture and responsibilities of the position.  They only let you know what life is like on their best day or what they aspire to be like to hire people. It's an aggressive and cutthroat environment. 

Leadership lacks integrity, accountability, and transparency and doesn't communicate expectations and changes.  Managers and executives are untrustworthy and don't encourage a culture of open and transparent communication.  Do not share your views about work-related issues with HR. 

Managers are emotionally immature and insecure know-it-alls.  They don't want employees who will challenge them with good ideas. 

Schomp should strive to build a strong and positive workplace by listening to their people, holding employees and leaders accountable for their actions, setting expectations, and clarifying information.
