Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear you had a less than positive work experience with us. We are working every day to improve our processes and efficiencies while we grow our parts business. Unfortunately, as we do so, we encounter challenges along the way but work hard to correct or improve them. I will pass along your concerns to the appropriate stakeholders so they can use this insight to get better.

Pros

No creativity needed to work here

Cons

This company is a joke. People at corporate have no idea what they are doing yet they direct locations on what to do. You can only stand to work here if you are a service monkey and do what you are told.

Pros

Great coworkers. Good place to learn basics in the business and get your foot in the door. Must move onto other companies for any real compensation.

Cons

No raises for salaried parts employees. Management raise goals for you to hit each year, sometimes multiple times within the year, which only makes you struggle to reach any kind of commission bonus. Management is the worst part about this company, too much good ol boy politics go on that shouldn't. Excel spreadsheets are what governs the pay rate for employees. Salesmen punished because customers complain about programs that don't work, we're told that it's our fault for not selling them on the program when it's really the program that fails. Managers get bonuses because their employees do the hard work, and the employee is not compensated for going above and beyond.
