Hi, Thank you for taking the time to leave a company review. It appears we are meeting and exceeding your workplace expectations in some areas, which I am certainly happy to hear. Feedback, positive or negative, is imperative to us as we rely on these reviews to make the company a better place. I support your feelings on listing communication as a con— Shop talks should be often and productive for all parties. I think sometimes the daily grind of reoccurring tasks can take over in an ugly way and we can do better at enhancing the verbal relationship between managers and technicians. In regards to “bad lunch”, I have to assume you mean the company- provided complimentary Saturday lunches. We always suggest speaking up if you’d like to see some different options on the menu as it can be challenging to find meals that everyone agrees on. I really do appreciate your review as it is helpful on our journey to being the best workplace we can possibly be. Thank you for your contributions to the service department and the company as a whole. Brooke

Pros

There are a lot of good people at Jim Ellis. The hours are decent.

Cons

Accounting decides when you get paid, if they are behind, they do not process commissions. The company has extremely outgrown their space on the Chamblee/Doraville campuses.

Hi, First, thank you for your tenure. We certainly appreciate the valuable time you have given to this company. Second, thank you for leaving a company review. Regardless of favorable or not, it is a good measurement for us in helping to “up our game”. While a few of these things are out of our control based on geographic location, we are mindful of it and are continuing to look for ways to expand as greatly as possible. In regards to accounting and payroll, those are two departments that operate under strict policies and procedures to ensure not only consistency but compliance and accuracy. With that said, if you are submitting a deal that is 100% complete on your end, you should be paid within the weekly pay cycle that the deal is submitted. If you do not feel that is happening, let’s talk further to get to the bottom of this together. As a team member, you have my email, so please reach out. I am happy to hear the hours and team members are making your experience a good one. We truly are surrounded by some of the best. Brooke

Hello there, First and foremost, thank you for your tenure. I cannot say it enough but I will always try. Giving your time to a company, any company, for a length of time means so much. Second, thank you for this encouraging review. While each review helps us navigate our journey, reviews like this affirm that we are checking some important boxes and that is wonderful news. We are aware that we have so much more work to do, but this is a victory for us. Our goal is to be the best workplace in every sense of the word and we will continue to seek out ways and opportunities to achieve that goal. Thank you again for the encouragement. Brooke
