Pros

The MOST FUN place I've ever been employed at. It didn't feel like I was working most days because I would laugh constantly. Work hard, play hard mentality. Clean, bright facilities. Bergstrom Basics and Standards. Rewarding role - being able to use your brain to some capacity. Exciting to see new brands being acquired.

Cons

Oh, where to begin. Some of the managers are a JOKE... Undeserving of the positions they fulfill, but somehow land a sales/finance/general manager role because of their ability to brown-nose or marry into the Bergstrom family. Most hourly employees find it difficult to get a raise... even when clearly excelling in the position. If you're in sales, you're working around 50-55 hours a week and either earning around minimum wage or earning a 80k/year income. There is no happy medium. I literally don't know how this company could be the "#3 automotive dealer group to work for in the United States."

Pros

Nice building. Pretty glass office. Eat Cookies and drink soda while waiting for prospective car buyers.

Cons

Hired as the token female with arrogant male coworkers and managers. Difficult to integrate myself into their clique. Uneven playing field. Got deals taken away. Made fun of. Told I was stupid and to look for a different career. Humiliated in front of my colleagues. Snide comments and massive back stabbing. No time for my own family. No training. Awful experience. Had to memorize company motto and values. Very stuffy environment. Manager was insincere and shrewd.

Pros

management is excellent. they each have the ability to keep things light and fun while remaining professional. they are also approachable and willing to listen to what you have to say.

Cons

this was not always the case. in the last year or so there has been a great shift in the culture of our shop. i believe a master key in any company is having employees who communicate well with each other and enjoy what they do
