I worked as a Parts Advisor but regularly covered multiple positions including front counter, back counter, shipping & receiving, and parts deliveries. The workload was extremely heavy due to chronic understaffing, which made it difficult to keep up and created a very stressful environment. This caused the shop to consistently fall behind, unreceived parts piling up in the stock room, and long customer wait times.

Management support was lacking. Concerns were brought to upper management multiple times, but no meaningful changes were made. The Parts Manager was often unavailable during busy periods either disappearing without notice or taking a nap in his office and had a very short temper, sometimes reacting poorly during customer conflicts, which added to the tension in the workplace.

The biggest positive was the technicians and coworkers, who were hardworking and supportive despite the conditions. Unfortunately, the low pay and constant pressure outweighed the positives for me.

The job itself as a sales person can be potentially great, it feels good helping out people find a vehicle and learning along the way. The pay is also potentially good if you learn and put effort. However, the management has gotten horribly bad, they make you feel like you are st*pid and straight up ignore you when you ask questions. This is definitely not the place if you are looking for a friendly and nice environment that actually cares about you. 

There is no room to grow at this dealership, they know you are new there and treat you like you s**t. They train you for like two days and expect you to know everything, then get mad when you ask a question or don’t know how to handle a situation.
 You will work 50-60 hours a week, with managers  that have just the worst energy ever and that don’t want to help. They will micromanage you on stuff that benefits them but when it comes to your success they don’t care at all. The only people there willing to help are other salespeople, especially those that have been at it for awhile. The management needs to change, no support at all from them. Its sad how the management has women in it but they talk bad about the sales women and how they dress or act. They make them feel as if they don’t fit in and very uncomfortable. This all definitely needs to change for this location to improve. 

I worked at Steele Hyundai as a sales porter for 2 years, and while I was dedicated to my role, constantly going above and beyond without needing to be asked, I was met with disrespect and a toxic work environment. I was treated as if my contributions didn’t matter, and some of the other staff, particularly the salespeople, would belittle me. On multiple occasions, I was insulted and called names like “nerd,” and was even told to “shut the f*** up” when trying to engage in conversation or contribute.

Despite my efforts to be a team player, it felt like the workplace culture didn’t support mutual respect, and the management failed to address the negative attitudes from some coworkers. I eventually had to leave because I could no longer tolerate the environment, and I feel it’s important for potential employees to know what they might face working here.

I truly hope the management reconsiders their approach to creating a more positive, respectful, and inclusive atmosphere for all employees.

I've been a technician with Steele, for 4+ year, (in the industry for 18+ years) and overall it's been a good positive experience. 

Management is open to feedback which helps with the shop, my co-workers are easy to get along with which all creates a positive environment.   The pay rates are fair for the industry, and there are opportunities for extra training (first aid, manufactures courses, etc) or advancement (mgr etc). I also like that I can mentor the new apprentices coming through.

They have good working hours with some flexibility, but sometimes the pace can get busy during certain seasons, which is par for the course with this industry, and being flat rate is what I like.  

Working at the Steele auto group is great. My managers are top notch. they definitely push me in the right directions to help me succeed in this industry. They care about me as a person and as an employee. The pay is great if you work hard and are driven to reach your personal goals. There is no pressure either. If you are struggling the management will give you the tools necessary to succeed. Over all I give the SAG a 120/100. I have worked for a few auto groups and this one is by far the best!!! The other sales reps are also very focused on helping other succeed. Everyone is willing to help with pretty much anything. 

As a lube technician, you work on doing your oil changes and making sure the vehicle is in proper shape as well making sure the shop is cleaned. What I've learned from this job is too control your emotions even when they say things that bring you down. The part i enjoy about this job is that I had coworkers that help me improve my skill as a mechanic and find easier solutions.

They are uninterested in helping you grow as a salesperson and a person in general. They constantly called me names and never treated me well despite being there longer than anyone else. The turnover rate is incredibly high. This job is not for anyone who wants a good career 

Was a fun place to work with lots of excitement and challenges. I learned a lot about Honda vehicles as well as other competitor's vehicles. I enjoyed working with my co-workers and the hardest part of the job was the long hours that I worked along with weather conditions. The most enjoyable part was getting to learn about and drive all the vehicles and interacting with all the customers.

I have worked in sales for 16 years, and been given great opportunities to advance. They believe in promoting from within. Hardest part of our jobs is being held accountable for what is expected of us. Roles are clearly defined and goals are acheivable.
