Luxury brand salespeople beware

Recommend

Pros

My medical insurance went down

Cons

Luxury brand salespeople beware. I have been in luxury auto sales for 16 years. Autonation acquired our store. Their payplan is the exact same one across the country for every store. Ours even says "trucks" and we don't sell trucks. Never did. We are getting paid so little that it's actually insulting. I went from making $100k+ per year to now wondering if I will even make $50k in a year. It's actually terrifying along with insulting. They also make unattainable quotas to meet and won't hesitate to fire an employee who has been with a company for over 20 years for not meeting their unattainable quotas. After they fired 1/8 of our sales staff, those of us left are stretched too thin, we don't have enough coverage to help the clients, we can't help them properly, we can no longer provide a luxury experience, we're burnt out, and it will affect our CSI which will affect our already too-low pay. We're working harder, smarter, and longer for literal pennies. It's absolutely miserable and it's cruel.

Pros

Great car purchasing for employees

Cons

Pay is bad, they hit everyone’s pay if one person in the store has bad CSI, they don’t pay spiffs, no holiday parties, they’re CRM is terrible and they know it’s bad. They want reports all the time and are always calling for meetings or certification which takes you away from actually selling cars. They are just a large corporation they figured something out but they turn great stores into good stores
