Manheim Reviews

Pros

Cons

Pay could be better and based on job skills, knowledge and service time. Still seems that This decision is influenced by your sex and how much you kiss up (for lack of a better word). People are afraid to voice there true opinions if they are in the least bit different than what is being told to us. Agree act excited and happy and hopefully you will keep your job.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat people with respect no matter what there job is. Just because you may be in a higher position within the company does not make you a better person. Always keep your door and mind open for any employee that wants to speak with you and, speak to them, not down to them.

Advice to Senior Management

Just to two words... "Undercover Boss" watch it, learn from it !!

Great health benefits.

Cons

Top- and mid-level defectors are numerous.
Upper-management paid very well, then there's everyone else.
Culture = every man/woman for him/herself.

HQ in Atlanta is a bunker and doesn't want to know what transpires in the field although they say that they do.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to employees in the field and act upon actions/people that do not conform to corporate ethics and morals. Stop worrying about your high-paying job and make decisions. Stop letting GMs, BMs, and "owners" run the company . . . have a backbone and tell them when they're wrong.

Advice to Senior Management

Corporate felt the need to change, if it's not broke leave it alone
Head hunters came in and wiped out everyone, good people doing a good job
No one at the top cares about anyone but themselves
Siting behind a desk and trying to figure out how to do a job doesn't work, ask the little people taht do the job

Pros

Benefits. Compensation. Dominant company in industry.

Cons

Continual and never ending layoffs. Laid off experience workers and brought in temps or new bees. They still have green screen as 400, technology way behind.

Advice to Senior Management

Quit having consultants and kpis take over what was once a great company. Customer service and keeping experienced employees was thrown out the window. Everyone was scared of their jobs even the top executives. Fear is a terrible way to run the company.

Pros

good pay
good people
tons of opportunity for career development
owned by Cox Enterprises - a company that invests in making good managers better, and doesn't tolerate bad behavior from its leaders
respectful,professional environment

Cons

Industry is going through a ton of change right now, and for some, this could make for stressful environment. The right attitude and the embracing of change/ability to adapt is key.

Advice to Senior Management

Stay open to change. Continue to listen to your employees. Don't forget that the way we did things 60 years ago does not necessarily apply to how we should do them today.

Pros

The opportunity to network with an amazing group of entreprunual people that make up their customer base is a great way to sedgeway into other opportunities outside the Manheim bubble. You must get to know the customers they are awsome and ripe for someone to offer them better consistent service.

Cons

The company has several drawbacks. The politcal game is king and performance takes a back seat to reality. Managment has no respect for the employees full or part time unless they are involved outside the biz. The layoff mentality is rampant and you survive by kissing up. Been there 20 years and the seperation has been growing steadily sinced they merged withADT. Performance means nothing its all political. You only hope that you or the person your hooked up with is able to remain flavor of the week. You know when they are going to rub you out when they start looking through you instead of at you. I've seen it happen to 20+ people here alone. I know its company wide.

Advice to Senior Management

Many of the people that you are releasing are going to work as your competition. Most of the people in this business are very driven and competetive. Be careful one day you will look up and ask where did all our customers go. They will have gone to a place where they get great service and are treated like they matter. You have thinned you staff to the point that the few and I mean the very few you have left just can't keep up with the load you put on them no matter how good they are. The few that have hung on half of them are there only due to the nepotism so the few good employees are totally burdened. Remember its about selling cars not taking care of your favorite few buddies. When all your customers leave you will find them doing business with your exemployees and that you can count on because you cut alot of great talent. Word is your selling out anyway and looks like your cooking the books pretty good hope you don't destroy the place before you can get it sold.
