Absolute joke of a dealer group - Sales Associate Hendrick Automotive Group Employee Review

Pros

Met some really cool people in my time there. Pretty decent benefits, but you need to be there an entire year to get any of them besides health insurance. (Average salesperson lasted 2-3 months tops). You usually work every other Sunday and they're short shifts. It seems like the service technicians are actually taken care of.

Cons

Pitiful base salary compared to other dealer groups that use a base+commission structure. Commission structure is nothing like any other dealership, you could make the dealership several tens of thousands of dollars but if you didn't make enough phone calls or get enough reviews back from customers then they'll shame you and not pay you a dime. I've sold 15 cars (this would usually pay around $5,000-7,000 in commission in my market) and only got a paycheck for $600 over not spending all day talking on the phone. Management makes it very clear they have no interest in your health or wealth. They often require you to work 10-15 days in a row, all 10-14 hour days.

Pros

Phenomenal culture Excellent sales training Run the way you want any company to be run. Invests heavily in their employees both in terms of a genuine desire for each employee to succeed as well as top tier benefits. Enable salespeople to sell honestly without fretting over percentages or profit KPIs by focusing on volume as the basis for commissions. Ample room to grow within the company and employees are encouraged very positively to strive for more.

Cons

Intense hours, but they're very up front about this going in, so it's no surprise or mystery. Having said that, as a divorced parent with 2 small children it's taken some adjusting for sure. They are extremely accommodating and understanding when it comes to family related issues, though.
