Pros
Montrose Auto Group was a decent dealership when I first started there. Had a 1 month in depth training on learning the process on how to sell cars and learn how to complete the sale from start to finish which I still use some of the techniques to this day. The sales staff and management were easy to get along with and taught new sales consultants the ropes to selling. After that little training event, each sales consultant hired after me had no training and either ended up quitting or getting fired This dealership has a very strong special finance department. The special finance manger was probably one of the best managers I’ve ever worked for. He truly cared about his sales staff and taught me how to sell cars.
Cons
-50-60 hours each week and were not allowed to have your day off on the last week of the month as was indicated on an online job site. - Very high turnover rate. 25 sales people quit in 1.5 years. -The pay plan was strong at $125 used and $175 new but one can always expect a charge back to pop up somewhere. We were charged back for, bad checks, bank changing the rate, repair work 30-60 days after the sale, bad survey score, and the list goes on. -If a sales consultant sold accessories or Onstar subscriptions we never got paid on it. -We would get our commission sheets only at the last few days of the month so one had no idea how much they made on the vehicle or if they cleared their draw check. Also if there were 3 draw checks handed out in one month, the sales consultant had to make sure they sold about $2,100 worth of cars instead of the $1,500-$1,600 for the 2 draw checks. If the sales consultant didn’t make their draw, then the negative money was then accumulated onto the following month until sales consultant could pay it back. -Only one sales consultant was enrolled in GM mark of excellence and which he received a check from GM for $6,000. Those cars including mine and other sales consultants were enrolled in his name only. So I and other sales consultants potentially missed out on some GM money. Dealership told me that they were going to fix the problem. They had time to fix it but never did.
