Pros

Great benefits. They really do put family first. Flexible scheduling. Great co-workers, but lots of negativity towards the job (pay vs. expectations and workload)

Cons

First, complete lack of communication. I would come in at my scheduled time, and they had changed several processes overnight, but would not communicate that to the associates. Second, the service department prices services at whatever they think they can get away with, then reduces the prices back down if they get too many complaints. Finally, when they terminated me (for good cause, I will admit) I was offered immediate termination OR I could resign with 1 week of severence. I of course took the severence pay. When I applied for unemployment, thought, Walser DENIED that I was told that I would be terminated if I did not resign.

Pros

Immediate dept. Co-workers at the dealership store level are friendly, and for the most part helpful. However, the farther up the food chain (Management) will burn you at the stake if it means them being held accountable for any mistakes made by 'New Hires'. Unless, of course you do something that is positive...in which case they are first in line to take credit !!!...

Cons

'Training'...if that's what you call it! Has a lot to be desired. Especially after your in the designated location. Simple orientation procedures are NON-Existent although this ONE of SEVERAL points the recruiters and HR staff boast about once they feel you are a proper WALSER candidate! Make sure ALL of your compensation questions are CLEARLY answered & understood before you've committed to the position...they have a strange way of changing once your on boarded and have worked a few weeks. I was very hopeful and excited to start with this employer, until it became painfully obvious to me and my fellow 'New Hire' co- workers, that they love to sell 'the sizzle', and not 'the steak'. In other words, there is a lot of window dressing taking place with regards to Corp. image and 'CORE VALUES'. On a side note. Personally, I'm note one who is in the habit of 'bashing' a company publicly or on social media. However, my experience with this company can not go ignored. EMPLOYEE BEWARE...!

Pros

Processes are very clean and highly automated.

Cons

Pay structure changed to a $17.31/hour which took away all the opportunities to eran extra income. Highly micro managed.
