Southern States TOYOTAlift reviews

Owner is a LIAR, who rules with an iron fist. His managers are all too scared for their jobs to say anything so everyone walks around in fear. They push salesmen hard to sell used used instead of new because the profit margin is so much higher. But they have no integrity. Upper management tells you to sell a lift that they do not have. Simply refuse to tell the customer they year and hours on the equipment so when you sell it they have time to go to an auction to find one. Customer expects to have lift delivered in days when it takes weeks or months for them to find one. Meanwhile you have to string the customer along with lies or free rentals until they can find one. Owner offers bonuses on service contracts but takes years to pay you on those contracts/ or doesn't pay you at all if you push for actually getting paid you get fired. Sales staff and sales managers are in constant turnover. If you question management at all you are fired. If the owner simply doesn't like you, you get fired. If your commission gets too high you get fired so he doesn't have to pay you.

On the surface, this place will seem amazing, but that is very deceptive. Most of the senior level management is terrible (There are a few that are great though), change management is non- existent, and this company does not value nor appreciate their employees. You will be overwhelmed with work. When you go to your interview, ask about the retention rate. In my time at this company, I saw 18 people come and go... and I wasn't there near long enough to see that much turnover. There is a reason for that.
