Whiteford Kenworth

Perrysburg location was a joke!  Nobody wanted to train anyone.  New employees are left to figure it out for themselves.  Management had no backbone!  Parts department manager was allowed disrupt entire department. Had no people skills!!  Upper management would not stand up for anything other than their own advancement.  

STAY AWAY!  Can't keep employees.  There is a reason for this!

Human resources was unwilling to do anything to help resolve t he situation.  Very difficult people to work for.

Also allowed Hiring Manager to discriminate on the basis of gender.

 I worked for this company at the Lafayette branch for 2 months. I left a career with a competitor for false benefits and disrespectful management. They do not operate as a team. The GM steps on every managers toes and undermines them and will straight up tell you its my way or the highway. Your direct supervisor is merely there for entertainment. The promised compensation was changed my first day with a prove yourself in 90 days to earn what was already promised. After talking with co-workers thats how the GM recruits. With downright lies. Unless your his son who also works as an outside sales rep with no qualifications do squire that position. If you hate micro managing and constant battles with what's my job, not the place for you.

This dealership is the worst to work for out of the whole united states. Insurance was a $5000.00 deductible . Your pay depends on how well the company is doing. If the company does poorly, they will cut your pay 10% or more. They have teamsters union which does nothing to protect your rights. Teamsters allows contracts to be open before the contract is up. So then the company can take more out of your pay and raise insurance deductible. There are many other companies to work for in the area. Take my advise and Stay away from Whiteford Kenworth.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working with customers on various levels and with various needs.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Having departments working together to meet customer expectations.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Had a wide range of tasks to complete.  Never a dull moment from truck repair scheduling to truck rental preparation and billing of customer invoices.

I like that the company doesn't feel like a faceless corporation.  From top to bottom the employees are down to earth people.  Management seems reasonable and not over demanding.  The first couple weeks can be a little overwhelming as training wasn't documented for me as well as it should have been but it's worth it to stick it out as it is a good company to work for.

Shady business practices, shady top/upper level management. They know it, but they come across as something else.
If you like a clique culture, it’s for you. If you mind your business, don’t gossip, do your job, move on.  It’s a joke really. 

Since working for Whiteford Paclease I have gained a real focus. I know that there is a lifelong relationship with the company if that is what I want. They are willing to help me to the next step

I was promised a lot of things that never happened. The management at the local level was awful. Shady business practices. Over promising to customers to get their business,then under delivering once work was started and customer had no other choice.

Great body shop manager, however he was micromanaged all to often. When I moved to the parts department I was treated like an outsider and feel I was never given a true opportunity to show what I could really do.

Never received a raise in the 13 years I worked there. I was promised a raise but was never given one. This place was a toxic and many hostile employee were allowed to work there The Management never did anything about it
