Pros

I've been working at Walser for 2 1/2 years now and it's been the best proffessional experience i have had to date. Management truly cares and Walser does a lot of things to keep employees engaged and to show appreciation! The corporate team makes a big effort to make it out to the stores and be responsive and support our stores! Some of the standouts for me are: - Turkey drop: Every employee gets a free turkey for thanksgiving - Family day: Every MN employee and their family gets to go to valleyfair with the company in the fall! - ERG Employee engagement events

Cons

One con for some can be the fast paced and chaotic nature of automotive. We don't do everything perfect and we do implement a lot of changes that requires work on the backend to accomplish. In my mind i'm fine with it, but it can be a work environment that requires getting used to!

Pros

The CHRO is the true leader at the helm. She’s hands down the best leader I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with—empathetic, accountable, and inspiring. If it were just the two of us, I’d have stayed forever. I learned more from her in six months than I did in 20 years at my previous company. The VP of Operations is also a tremendous asset to the company. He works tirelessly to ensure the stores are running smoothly. The HR team is skilled, always responsive, and an absolute joy to collaborate with.

Cons

The lack of trust and unclear processes from leadership made my role increasingly difficult and frustrating, eventually making it unsustainable for me. It just wasn’t the right fit for either of us.

Pros

Work from home potential, "4 days weeks" but you'll have dealerships able to reach you on your cell. Imagine how that goes.

Cons

Management doesn't want to you to grow. Stay in the same spot and cross your fingers in an economic downturn, Expect to apply to your job when times are tough, My team was forced to reapply many times regardless of performance.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your contributions during your tenure at Walser. The times of transition can be challenging. The first department restructure occurred in response to the pandemic in 2020, followed by significant technology changes that impacted our structure over the years. Ultimately, these changes led to the department’s elimination in 2024, a decision we do not take lightly. Throughout these transitions, we aimed to provide a career path within the finance center, allowing team members to grow within the department. Additionally, employees had the opportunity to explore roles within our dealership network if they wished to continue their career with Walser. We can understand that this was not an easy time, and we are sorry if you did not experience the support we wanted to provide during these transitions. If you have further feedback, we encourage you to reach out to us directly (CHRO - Sherry Schultz @ sschultz@walser.com or myself directly, Lindsey Trett @ ltrett@walser.com). We value the experiences of our team members—past and present—as we continue to evolve and improve. Thank you again for your honesty and feedback.
