there was a lot of turn over in a short period.. several good people lost jobs in just a few months..seems to be the culture of this place.. everyone is on egg shells... heard stories from techs on how they were asked to hustle on a hot job to get it out.. only to be written up when something went wrong. One very long time tech was moving a truck into the shop on his break..only to be fired for looking at a video on his phone while building air to move the unit..  what was seen happening  is the exact reason its hard to find good people to fill jobs.. the community of people that do this kind of work is small.. it doesn't take long for word to spread among everyone.. soon there will be no one to choose from to fill jobs if the culture doesn't change soon.   You can only fire so many people for no good reason before you establish a bad rep.   in my opinion.. the job of a manager is to make everyone win. not just manage the bottom line for your bonus. In my job, there was so much put on you.. you were almost set up to fail.. I was actually accused of things that never happened ..and backed it up with black and white proof..and still paid the price. 
If the culture isn't the way the CEO wants it.. then he needs to take a hard look ..which from what I've seen, isn't happening.. hence the CEO rating.

A typical day is anything but typical.  We cover many different areas of the business from answering phone calls and helping people that come into the dealership to vendors.  

What you learn is that everyone is important that works and comes into the dealership.  

Management is very supportive and doesn't want you to fail.  It is their mission to make sure you succeed.  When you succeed the company succeeds.  

The workplace culture is very friendly and thus productive.  

The hardest part of the job is getting up to speed.  Most employees have been there a long time and have a lot of industry knowledge, which makes them very valuable to customers and those around them.  It is just a matter of putting in the time and going through the training they provide.  

The most enjoyable part of the job is when everything comes together and you can do your job without having to ask questions and helping customers and those around you to make it a great experience.  

 

This company is on the downfall fast. Great people are leaving in droves and no one cares. Every department is out for themselves and there is no one to manage the managers. Top heavy is an understatement here. Onboarding for new hires is a brief zoom call and that is about it. I had high hopes going to work here but when you have no clue who your supervisor is, that's a big problem. Everyone is your boss and there is no clear chain of command. In this respect, this is the absolute worst organization I've ever worked for. There are some great people that work here that are the glue that holds it together but when they have had their fill of the nonsense and leave, the end will be near.  Customers are leaving in droves too because of pure corporate greed. Profit is not a dirty word, but greed is and if you treat your customers great the profits will always be there.  Treat your people great and they will always be there too. When upper management only cares about their money it shows in their actions and when they rub that in, it's 10 times worse. 

The company provides no leads.  What rates you're offering your customer is not competitive but you're still expected to meet goals.  If another employee steals your customer management does nothing about it. They simply throw up their hands and say oh well or talk it over with that representative to at least split the commission. The vice president is unrealistic of what you're making in commission.  He'll say you can make $200,000 to $300,000 easy.  When in reality on a $100,000 deal you'll commission like $100.  The CEO is a former airline pilot who's only concerned with keeping himself rich.  Which bears the question what does a pilot know about running a sales department?The CEO is also verbally abusive I'm surprised this isn't in the media about how he treats his staff or he hasn't been already sued.  He is also gone on record to say he does not care about anyone except for himself to stay rich.  If that is the leadership then I'm glad I'm leaving this place.

After Velocity took over the local dealerships the rate of lay off's and terminations increased dramatically. The base pay in my position was the lowest in town - experience did not matter. The comission rate was constantly changing and you had to verify the comission payment monthly for errors. pay raises were virtually non existant and the excuse was - someone else will take that job at that pay scale. Write up's for minor error's increased dramatically. The only saving grace in pay was the overtime I could book (covering for a higher up). I was subsequently laid off with no clear basis by the person I was covering for. As noted by others, Velocity laid off the majority of the staff that had any seniority. Experience and job performance did not seem to matter. Too bad, they could have made a difference in the industry in the state.    

Working for Velocity was definately an experience, I learned alot on how Dealerships function. I enjoyed the fast paced enviroment and the opportunity to teach others. Velocity is definately not somewhere to work if you are an Honest person that likes to do the right thing.  I also learned the behind the scenes "Keep Your Mouth shut" Policy. The "If You See Something Say Something" Policy that does more damage than benifit. How a Service Manager can commit Corporate Theft with out Repercussions.  And witness employees steal from the company without repercussions covered up by the management and that Management is NOT your friend. I enjoyed working for Velocity until I notified management of theft in the workplace then it became absolute torture working there.

A typical day at work requires multitasking, helping others and requires me to communicate constantly. The company has provided me with extensive training via the web, in person or through virtual meetings. Management is open to new ideas and is approachable. The hardest part of the job would have been public speaking when required but with the exposure to it, it has now become a skill I have acquired. This company provides opportunities for growth you will have to apply yourself, be disciplined and reliable to achieve any short term and long-term goals. 

I've been working for Velocity for almost a year, the best company I've worked at ever in all of my years.  Benefits are excellent, Management is great and so is the overall VTRL culture.  Management provides extensive structure, foundation and training.  There is no room for failure, only room for growth here at VTRL.  There are many perks of working at VTRL, some are the Starbucks runs, Company provided lunches, Monthly birthday cakes as well as the work off site meetings at Top Golf.  I highly recommend Velocity Truck Rental & Leasing if you're looking for a change of employment.  Coming on board here at VTRL was the best decision I've made in terms of career paths.  I really enjoy working here.

The “LeadTechs”  are a step above lube techs 
The service writers are worthless, can’t do anything, can’t check in trucks, can’t answer the phones, can’t talk to a customer without the tech holding their hand and basically doing it for them. Once you talk them about their job history you find out they have been fired from everywhere else and this is the last place takes anyone with a heartbeat.
Can’t get parts from parts dept because not one single person in there has the slightest clue on how to do it. You think to yourself how are they still employed everytime you need even a screw. The whole team looks like they share one bar of soap and only use it once a month. Wear a mask if you need to come close to them.
