Pros

This position offers flexibility as well as medical benefits, vision, and work-life balance.

Cons

The vehicle financing offered by this company is noncompetitive in that rates are extremely high. Customers and dealers alike are hesitant to contract with the company making it difficult to meet quotas. The upline is selective with whom they choose to mentor and coach. Overall, I feel if I had the same coaching opportunities as other reps I would have succeeded.

We appreciate your feedback, particularly as a current team member. We disagree that our program is not competitive as that is not supported by the facts. We acknowledge that this is a tough business, with solid competitors and we further acknowledge that the used vehicle sales market is down in 2024 which makes it tougher. I'm most concerned about you feeling that you were not offered the same coaching opportunities for growth. We aspire to provide training and coaching for all as fairly and comprehensively as possible -- it is in our collective interests to see you succeed. If you are comfortable providing more specific feedback directly to me on that topic, please don't hesitate to reach out and share. I have only one job......to make us better!

Pros

This position does not require management to micromanage employees. All team members are eager to assist. While there may be a learning curve for those without prior experience in the automotive industry, the company provides ample resources to facilitate your transition. Compensation is competitive, with some top representatives earning over $200,000 annually. The new office is situated in the heart of downtown, offering convenient access to a variety of dining establishments. The company’s open door policy fosters a collaborative environment, with executives and managers alike demonstrating exceptional support and assistance. The company recognizes the importance of work-life balance and allows employees to use PTO/SICK time as they see fit without any questions asked.

Cons

The healthcare benefits package are expensive. No gym subsidies for employees who are trying to say fit.

Pros

Work from home and work with dealers in your area

Cons

Low low pay. So many penalties. Very possible to make sales and not receive any compensation. Benefits are super expensive. Over $1200 per month for a crappy insurance plan. Pay can bottom out lower than welfare in most states. Dealers hate working with the credit/funding department. When they cut the program it becomes impossible to find a good deal.

While we disagree with your feedback generally, we appreciate you taking the time to share. The role you were in is hard and not for everyone -- that is fully acknowledged. However, we have team members in this same role across the country who have been successful. I want to see all of them make a lot more money and with recent program changes, I know we are going to see some real success. Thanks again.
