Lots of hours to do nothing and make nothing - Sales Consultant Sonic Automotive Employee Review

Pros

They have a good message, but lack follow through. Lots of false hope.

Cons

Lack training and expect overtime hours of work with little to no incentive. The managers don't give any helpful words of advice and get mad if you make a mistake when you haven't been trained. Unrealistic goals and expectations. They rip customers off with shoddy work and thrown in unnecessary F&I write ups. There's a ton of turnover due to poor management. Unapproachable, unfriendly managers don't help you to properly do your job but expect the best. Baptism by fire. Everything feels like a 'test'. (All the raving reviews are clearly forged by the trainers) They claim to have a transparent approach to car buying, but it is clearly old-school mentality in forcing people into cars they don't want/ need. Managers telling sales people to tell customers to "get the f*ck out of here" is not a good business approach. It's not constructive criticism, just constant criticism.

Pros

Pay was decent for the work

Cons

Did not feel valued as an employee. Felt discriminated against for my age. Management showed favoritism towards certain employees of certain ages if their interests were similar to the general sales managers and those employees received special treatment
