Pros

I have been a full time employee of Balise for approximately 14 years. From my hire date AND ON i have and will always promote this company for service, sales, and employment. As an employee we, as well as our family members, receive discounts on service to vehicles, purchase of new vehicles , and referral bonuses . We are offered health insurance which the company pays 50-60% giving the lowest rates weekly, the company is contracted with All state which gives discounts on life insurance and car insurance. The company promotes teamwork and this is only accomplished by having get togethers and work events sponsored by the company definitely helps boost moral. The opportunities, once your foot is in the door, for GROWTH are unbelievable. The company allows you to even switch between departments if you are looking to venture to another field of work The managers offer their personal phone numbers so you can reach out. family is always first and even more they support those who want to go back to school accommodating hours based on schedule. Maternity Leave up to 12 weeks laid back work environment

Cons

Like all companies and people there are flaws. There has been a decrease in budget to maximize the quality of the stores to build the brand which does not afford yearly increases in pay at this time. The starting pay is still competitve Training can be fast paced

Chaotic, never ending stress

Pros

Nothing that I can think of. Once in a while they'll give you free food. But they won't give you a raise.

Cons

This place is terrible. Management is so blind to employees needs. They had a meeting for all of the employees telling us how much they spent the previous year, then went on to say, "but unfortunately we can't give raises. But here's an ice cream cone." The stress you will endure is not worth the minimal pay that they give you. Your coworkers will do anything possible to get work off of their desks and pile it on yours. No one helps each other. Expectations of the work load are unrealistic and upper management is a joke.

Pros

They have a decent pay plan compared to other companies. But senior guys make much more than new guys

Cons

Horrible management. Nobody communicated with each other. So much drama and people talking about each other behind their backs...even managers about other managers. Everybody sleeping with everybody. Workplace is so uncomfortable. Witness several people being fired for ridiculous reasons, because they weren't in the "in" circle with management. The only way you will ever become a sales manager is to be friends with the current ones. You may as well go back to high school if you want to work at Balise
