Better than most car dealerships in LA

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Much better mandatory work schedule, 33-36 hour work week, most southern California dealerships are a 55+ hour work weeks. Only one of three managers was a psychopath, of the other two, one was great, the other was good, just burned out and waiting for his well deserved promotion for his own store.

Cons

As at all dealerships, the pay plan is shrinking. Example. One sales guy here sold 8 cars in June 2016 and made $17000 commission. In June of 2017 he sold 19 cars, and made $8000.

Great potential but often poorly run

Sales executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Company car. Worked with a brilliant and good fun mix of people at a local level.

Cons

Very long hours - often 60 plus a week, often with an expectation to pop in on days off as well Could be heavily micromanaged. The atmosphere could become incredibly heavy and negative when things weren't going well which only makes them go worse Staff turnover in sales is rapid due to cut throat nature of the business
