Weelborg Auto

With no experience in the auto industry I was given the opportunity to use other work experience I have had in the office environment and grow my skills. In a short time I have learned my role in the accounting office working with account receivables and cross trained to back up other employees. I enjoy being a part of my local community and Weelborg has encouraged my involvement and the team is helpful to cover if I have a lunch meeting. The company is also willing to invest in it's employees through training. I have joined two webinars already that I am able to apply to my every day work responsibilities. Monthly meetings are held to share company updates and enjoy a yummy meal.  I feel welcome by each department (whether the sales, parts, service, my fellow accounting team, or management) to ask and learn. Weelborg is committed to their customers, employees, community and growing through the new expansion and remodel. So stop on by and meet the team! 

When I started at Weelborg Chevrolet, I was promised training, but I received little to none. I came into the position with no prior car sales experience and had to teach myself most of the job. 

When coworkers attempted to help me learn, I was told by management that it was not their responsibility to train me. This left me wondering who was actually responsible for providing the training I was promised when I was hired.

I was also called into a meeting and criticized for not being the “happy girl” I was when I first started. I found this unfair, especially considering I was coming into a new industry without proper support or guidance. Despite the lack of training, I maintained my positive attitude and did my best to learn and contribute.

Expecting a new employee who had been there less than three months to carry the morale of the workplace while not providing the tools needed to succeed feels very unreasonable. A supportive training environment and clear expectations would have made for a much better experience. Do not recommend working here if you want to be happy at your workplace! 

I was able to get an interview quickly and was excited. The interview was unreasonably difficult but that is okay. I liked the family focus and everything they said in the interview. I was hired after a few weeks. My first day was full of surprises. Co-workers were nice but they were not happy. Several of them said they were looking for different jobs and suggested I see if I could get my old job back. I tried to make this work but the management, HR person and CEO were extremely difficult to get along with. I would ask questions and get shut down immediately. It seemed like they didn't want any ideas or suggestions, they just wanted me to follow and not question anything. The promises of family atmosphere, compensation and culture were completely false. I now see why they are always hiring. They promise the world to get you there and then reality hits. 

From my short experience, I would not recommend working here. The GM on my first day was supposed to get me access to Ford's Dealer Website that's supposed to help us with product training and our ability to sell. Well, I didn't get access to that until a month later, and that was only after F&I kept pushing him to do so. Ultimately, the awesome corporate coordinator got me all set up after he failed to do so. On top of that, I never got my business cards either, which were supposed to be ordered on day one as well. I could tell much more, but my post won't show up because they are too raw and true about what's really going on in this business. Good luck to anyone who joins them.

False promises of future advancement. Underqualified upper management learning the business at your expense and leading blindly. Some of the worst compensation I've seen in F&I ever. Hidden packs that managers are told not to tell salespeople about. Rigorous and intimidating HR interviews where words get put into your mouth and twisted. Toxic culture that they don't know how to fix. And the recent add is false reviews being added to Indeed to bury the truth. Almost all of the Employees I work with I did enjoy as they are great people.

Do yourself a favor and find a reputable dealership to work for that cares about its employees!
There are too many problems to explain at this dealership.
The management and Leadership is non-existent.
Don't expect any training to help you succeed with your career or any support from management at all.
If you are looking to throw your life away and have a company take advantage of your hard work and good nature then this may be the place for you but I don't believe anybody out there should do that to themselves.

It’s a well run family owned organization. They have excellent management support willing to pick up the phone day or night to help you succeed in any way they are able. They give you the tools to advance your career in whatever form you want it to be. The sky is the limit at the Weelborg Auto stores. Follow the process, work hard and have ownership in your work and you will undoubtedly have your long term career at any of the 3 Weelborg Auto stores. 

Great place to work! We ended up moving back to our hometown in Nebraska to be with family, but would recommend Weelborg to anyone looking for a fun work environment. They had no problem accommodating to my time off, I was there for 2 years, and never had any issues with it. My team was family to me, and it was a hard decision to leave. I will recommend Weelborg to anyone, and would definetely go back if we ever move back to Minnesota! 

They manipulate people's pay and have additional deductions that people don't know about. They are paid well under the industry standard. They have a weaponized HR department. You do not have work-life balance. There are so many meetings I don't know when you even have time to sell cars. After 25 years in the business, this is my least liked dealer group. You have been warned..

This company talks about family and is very personable. That is where the positives seem to end. There are a lot of people in charge and not enough people actually doing the work. The employees are stressed out and not making enough money. You are told you will make a bunch of money but there is no way to actually earn it.
