CDK Global Reviews

Cons

Normal frustrations of being a part of a large corporation with many departments and levels of bureaucracy .

Cons

The recent lay offs have caused a very negative look at CDK, but most people are not well informed enough to form a real opinion. Large companies go through this a lot. It’s horrible for people to lose their jobs, but sometimes it’s smart to consolidate departments and restructure.

Cons

constant management turnover, consultants run amok, constant reorganizations, tenured associates being let go resulting in poor client service and missed deadlines, bad morale - everyone is waiting for the ax to fall and make them the next one to be ushered out the door

Cons

Since CDK is the leader in automotive marketing, we sometimes get a bad wrap. And sometimes from associates that were let go, and complete a Glass Door review. The bad thing is that people who were part of the problem, and not part of the solution, under-rate CDK. I have been here for 10 years, and I can honestly recommend my neighbors or relatives to come work for CDK if you want to be treated with respect, be rewarded for your hard work and commitment, and want to make a difference in this industry. Nobody else is doing what CDK is doing in automotive.

Cons

The company priority shifted to margins & making the board profitable. Everything else didn't matter anymore & the job/benefits got worse as time went on.

Cons

Executive level does not care about the employees or customers. Only care about increasing stock price. Processes and customer support are getting worse rather than better. They are laying off so much knowledge and experience that there is no one to train the entry level people they are hiring to save costs. We are supposedly trying to streamline, but it has become more and more difficult to take pride in the experience we are providing customers.

Cons

Nepotism by managers, mass layoffs, HR & leads are just toys in Manager's hands

Cons

Have to pay for your own parking in downtown Detroit which is always a good time.
Hard to advance thus hire people from the outside to take managements roles.

Cons

size of the company keeps decreasing every year

Cons

Everything that the company had going for it was removed. Work parties, outings and career growth... anything to boot motivation was removed for "work faster".
