Walser reviews

Upper- and middle-management don’t listen to seasoned employees about why business is hurting. Managers routinely change time records of employees to stay avoid paying overtime. I currently have TEN bosses. HR and upper management do nothing about middle managers bullying employees. Deceptive policies and practices have cost the business relationships with wholesale customers; management blames it on staff. It goes on and on. Don’t believe the fake reviews. This is a sinking ship.

Company creates the image of caring for employees through virtue signaling special interest groups and engagement survey. However, You can be demoted or fired at any moment often without explanation. When Covid-19 hit they terminated a large amount of their workforce without thought to the results on the employee. While other auto industry companies were doing reduced hours and one week on one week off plans Walser did mass layoffs. There appeared to be no strategic planning to their decisions only panic. During this time of Covid19 they seem to have been hugely profitable and even purchased an additional dealership in the Chicago area. They have been slow to call back employees and in at least one case rehired new staff at half the pay by reclassifying their job. Upper Management is disconnected from employees and really only care about bottom line. This company used to be so much better. There has been a definite change in focus and company goals. They are expanding in markets by adding dealerships at the cost of employees and moral. If you are single and plan on being there a short time before moving on it may be a good place to build experience. If you are looking for advancement or any type of job security I suggest looking elsewhere.
