Deceptive pay and untrained staff hinder productivity

Shop foreman

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Fairly busy dealer by today's standards

Cons

Completely deceptive pay. Nearly half of the shop isn't meeting basic productivity metrics and this is hidden during pay discussions. Constant issues due to severely untrained staff and advisors looking for tips. PTO standards are a decade out of date. Most people are doing less than the bare minimum and aren't even basic computer proficient. Techs can abuse substances and it's overlooked if they are productive.

Helpful staff and kind management, but long hours

Sales associate

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

The staff is very helpful and inviting. There is a healthy amount of foot traffic. The GM is very kind and cares about his employees.

Cons

Not really a con because it comes with the job, but the hours are long. If you don’t sell anything it can be a bit defeating. You also don’t get paid hourly; not sure if this is standard but I was at my lat dealership.
