Collision Estimator

Pros

Great coworkers and quality repairs.

Cons

WIP and GP Reports not readily accessible to estimators to monitor targets for monthly goals. Cannot confirm what commission pay is based on. Too much secrecy. And the phrase " It doesn't matter what people think of you is BS at AutoNation. Estimators are paid on CSI "aka" what the customer thinks of their experience at AutoNation and it reflects on estimator pay check even if it's a poor vehicle detail or if customer is upset with insurance company. By far the WORST collision company I've ever worked for in over 14 years. Employees are #s not people.

Pros

I’ve worked for AutoNation for almost 5 years and love it. There is a lot of opportunity to move up within the company, and I’m a woman, and know that’s not easy to find in this industry.

Cons

Auto Sales is fast paced and high pressure, but that’s not really a problem caused by this company. It’s just the nature of the business. I happen to love it!

Pros

The building is ultra modern.

Cons

The pay is extremely low for the job. I was lied to several times and nobody is being honest about the pay. I was originally told $17.40 an hour that would start the minute I got the job and I am being paid $15.00 for a job that really needs to be paying more. You are the bounty hunter all day (much more work than Dog, the Bounty Hunter) chasing down Service Advisors and Management who do not want to answer their phone. When you try to tell your Manager about it, you get answers along the lines of "It is just business." The Manager, who I am sure is a good person outside of work, manages by being condescending. The amount of stress on the phone from customers with a strong sense of entitlement makes the job harder. But the WORST thing is the lack of support from Management on just about anything. When I brought suggestions b/c I am a visionary with over many, many years of customer service experience and a customer service, award winning guru with many years of experience...it was met with disdain and lack of support, and an implication to not ask it again. The call center was put together quickly and yet nobody organized anything but they manage by e-mail. I work my butt off and it does not matter. The customers are spoiled, but that is okay, I can handle that. Not having support from those around me who directly affect my job is hard. There is nothing done to foster a positive environment. It kind of hurts.
