      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at AutoNation (Las Vegas, NV) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      I applied for a sales consultant job at AutoNation Volkswagen in Las Vegas and I had the worst experience ever. I came to the interview 15 minutes early and had an interview with the Internet sales manager and the used car manager. I never got to do the interview with the General Manager because he was busy and corporate was showing up even though he called me to come for an interview. And the worst part was they broken their promise to call me back tomorrow for an interview. AutoNation Volkswagen management are a bunch of liars and they should not be allowed to conduct business in such an unprofessional manner

      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. I interviewed at AutoNation (Saint Paul, MN) in Aug 2015

      Interview

      To even get an interview with the Autonation Ford of White Bear Lake of Minnesota, I had to write a kind of angry e-mail towards them, because they were straight up lazy and they didn't want to do nothing or anything at all, I did walk-in to get their attention, Had to call them to even try to get their attention.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They said they wanted someone with 5 years of experience and it didn't have to be in just auto sales they said any type of sales, and yet they're lying advert says no experience we will train you so long as you have the right attitude and great with customers, so in the end they're just a bunch of straight up Lairs!
