Hi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your time with us. It appears we met your expectations in some areas and still have work to do in other areas. Hours and compensation can be challenging in this industry, especially amongst the sales team, and I understand that concern. We have and will continue to be mindful of time spent in the showroom. This is why we are closed on Sundays’ and offer a 5-day workweek. While performance generates compensation in the sales department, evaluating and implementing competitive pay plans is always on the “To-Do” List. We want to see success for everyone on the team. Your “advice to management” is a valid point. Managers are expected to lead, grow, and mentor, requiring undivided attention, focus, and commitment. We will aim to improve, but we also understand as humans, a bad day can follow us to work. We wish you all the best now and in your future professional endeavors. Best, Brooke

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave your honest feedback. While we are happy to hear that you are enjoying some aspects of work at Jim Ellis Porsche, I am sorry you feel discouraged by others. While there are instances and moments when we may ask team members to provide interim support, if you feel you have been tasked with a new responsibility, I suggest you engage your direct supervisor and General Manager to discuss this. You can always reach out to me as well. Tenure means a great deal to the company, and we try to show that through recognition programs and celebrations, but that doesn’t mean we can’t continue to seek out ways to thank you. We believe we are paying competitively within our industry and market based on position, but we will continue to evaluate compensation and make appropriate changes. I appreciate you and your time with the company, and if you ever want to discuss this further, please email me. We take your feedback seriously and appreciate you letting us know how you feel. Sincerely, Brooke

Pros

The team of people at Jim Ellis are experienced and patient, they support new hires with grace and friendship. Everyone on boards quickly and is forgiven for mistakes followed correct discipline - a very effective and understanding learning environment

Cons

The flow of work is heavily dependant on external factors and this makes the pay system sometimes unforgiving. The company is very understanding when it comes to this, but the reality of how flexible is possible can be an inconvenience.

Hi, Thank you for the awesome review of your positive experience with the company. Many of the words you used in the “Pro” field, such as ethic, team, and cooperative. people, patience, grace, friendship, forgive, effective and learning resonate on many levels. It takes a little bit of each of these to create a happy and healthy environment and we are so pleased to hear you feel this way. Regarding your “Cons”, I couldn’t agree with you more. Please know we are mindful of this pain point for technicians. We will continue to evaluate many factors that can impact this, and we will always try to be respectful and cognizant of technicians' time spent in the shop. Thank you for joining our team and sharing some of your “work story” with us. All the Best, Brooke
