Pros

-Coon Rapids Nissan is a partner with Walser, and likewise has implemented their "Best Price Philosophy" and Non-Commission pay structure. This makes it more about the customer experience and truthfully... it makes the sales process fun and fair for everyone involved. - The compensation plan at our store is a little different then some of the other Walser stores, but allows for uncapped potential. You are definitely rewarded for your efforts, and you will get out of it what you put into it. -Outside of your direct paycheck from Walser, there is potential for extra bonuses from Nissan which also have some pretty hefty potential. -Room to grow. Half of the current management staff started in sales here at this particular store. -Sundays and one other weekday off. Two morning and two evening shifts during the week. Helps with the work to life balance of being a Sales Consultant. -Free pizza lunch on Saturdays. -Management wants to help you succeed, and though competition is always expected in a sales profession, veteran sales staff are always helpful with feedback too. -Nissan is an excellent brand.

Cons

The cons for this job are not so much cons, but things that you need to be prepared for that will align with any career in sales: -Sales is Challenging and Competitive, and only you are responsible for your paycheck. -The wrong person for this job will find ways to be bored when the floor gets slow, and the right person for this job doesn't understand boredom... they'll use social media, or their CRM tool to find customers. You have to be proactive all the time. -Many customers are great, but you have to be ready for the difficult ones; and you have to keep your head up even when a day is tough and a customer is tougher. Be positive always. -Be ready to multitask, and expect a little pressure from management to get it done right and quickly. -Expect constructive criticism.

Pros

Good training, base salary, benefits like health insurance, 401k. Good pay plan for high volume dealerships.

Cons

Pay plan is entirely based on volume, and some rooftops are doing in a day what others do in a week. Do your research as to where you go because you can't switch to another dealership until you have tenure. The volume at Toyota is insane. Meanwhile I'm next door at the Buick GMC dealership and our volume is terrible, and I can't switch for months. I'm likely going to have to quit.
