Pros

-They have Solid hours -You will receive weekly pay -You get free coffee

Cons

-VERY cheap (your starting pay will be very low and they will find every excuse in the book to not give a raise) **this location brings in millions per year. - Will add additional roles and responsibilites to your position and then refuse to properly compensate you for added responsibilites

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

Hello, We sincerely appreciate the review you left for the company, thank you for your time. “Good Ethics and Culture” is such a meaningful compliment. We strongly believe the values our founder created 52 years ago still ring true today in all the dealerships. A company cannot implement culture and ethics; this is a testament to the way we all interact and treat one another. Schedules, pay and stress can all be tough in this industry given the competiveness so we understand that frustration. We will continue to seek out creative ways to serve the needs of our customers while supporting a fair work/life balance and being as competitive as possible when developing pay plans. We wish you the best in all your endeavors. Thank you, Brooke
