      Sales Associate Interview

      Feb 24, 2011
      Anonymous employee
      Valencia, CA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied in-person. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at AutoNation (Valencia, CA) in Mar 2010

      Interview

      All the Salesmanagers told me that I would earn $8,000 to $10,000 monthly, get at least two days a week off, be given three shirts, business cards and the best training in the industry. I've been here a year now and have received the most mediocre training, no shirts, no business cards and get one day a week off every other week.

      Sales Associate Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at AutoNation

      Interview

      In person, basic questions, nothing unusual. Two managers interview you and then they talk to the GM before ultimately making a decision. If you call and check on the status of your app you're likely to receive an offer.

      Sales Associate Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Las Vegas, NV
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 12 months. I interviewed at AutoNation (Las Vegas, NV) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      Poor, if you even get an interview. Then, they hide behind their corporate website and say that you were not selected. They need to choose between local vs nation wide hiring process.

      Austin, TX

      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at AutoNation (Austin, TX) in Nov 2025

      Interview

      I was contacted by Isaias for an in person interview at the South Austin location. I arrived and spoke with him for about 20 minutes discussing the role and my experience. I then spoke with a young lady who was internet sales manager who seemed almost hostile. I was the third interviewer was eating lunch and couldn’t be bothered. Didn’t hear back and followed up. No response. Basically ghosted.
