Pros

Honesty, there are no pros to working here.

Cons

Very limited earning potential. Management is not helpful. There are 1 or 2 good managers, the rest leave a lot to be desired.

We are sorry to hear that your experience with Western Funding wasn't positive. We strongly disagree that the earning potential is limited. We have an uncapped pay plan for our sales team so the potential is there. We do acknowledge that making "sick" money is not easy, but there are very few places where it is "easy". A key to helping our sales team maximize earnings is having a strong manager team and that is an always a top focus area for me and senior Sales leadership. I agree with your advice about listening and would "speak back" your last statement to say "Most of the time, the best ideas come from those doing the work" -- totally agree and we are proud that most of the change we have made in terms of program and process comes from ideas submitted by our Sales team. Thanks for the feedback and best of luck.

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.
