Group 1 Automotive reviews

Extremely poor management, inexperienced call centre manager blames HR for most disputes. Company feels extremely corrupt, HR department are anything but impartial. Some team leaders seem predatory especially over younger women, referring to them as “my favourite” and allowing them to get away with things others won’t. Bonus structure is a joke. Based off of a finger in the air prediction and a poor staffing forecast resulting in unobtainable targets. Hours are extremely long and monotonous. The company shouts about their values but hardly factors them into decision making - it’s just a bunch of buzz words and saying the right thing. If you can work anywhere else - do so.

Toxic culture all around, very few people in the industry understand what a culture is or how to implement it into the dealerships. This is partially due to management most the managers are under trained and do not understand the concept of leadership. There is is no work/life balance be prepared to stay at the dealership sixty - seventy hours a week. Days off will be taken away if the store is busy or if it is end of month. Employees are dispensable to the general managers, they do not care about their people and this starts from the very top of the organization. Benefits were terrible and expensive for the size of the organization. Pay plan is constantly changed. Management also acts like the stock option program is such a great deal and that an individual should be so thankful for it. Every publicly traded company gives a discount on the stock options so it is not that big of deal or benefit. Vacation time is terrible be sure and ask about it upfront.
