    2. "IT Reorganization Caused More Problems Than Fixed"

      StarStarStarStarStar

      Pros

      Training opportunities are good.
      Depending on lead or direct manager, you can be supported to take initiative.
      Free coffee
      New building
      Hot lunch available

      Cons

      After the reorganization, IT went down hill
      People were placed into departments/positions they did not apply for.
      People have been silo'd, whether intentional or not.
      Customer service suffers, as teams bicker over who owns problems.
      Upper management seems to have ignored the concerns brought to light.
      Ideas that would streamline/improve things are ignored in lieu of what upper IT management deems important.
      People moved to other teams were not back filled...leaving many resource gaps.
      Those who do, now have to do more. Those who don't...still don't.

      Advice to Management

      IT has been losing good people since this reorganization, either due to lack of support or frustration over this more complicated process. This will continue to happen until the CTO and upper IT management reconsider the reorganization and fix the issues that were directly caused by it.

    3. "Unprofessional"

      Pros

      I recommend leaving the company on good terms rather than bad terms. It would be in your best interest not to have to still deal with these unprofessional people once you are gone.

      Cons

      I do not recommend working at this company. It's like high school. Managers are very immature & unprofessional. They do not know how to handle situations in a professional manner. They are very unfair & cannot disagree with them or you will be out. They need to take a company wide course on how to be a professional in the workplace.

      Advice to Management

      Take courses on how to be a professional and take it seriously.

      There is a major popularity contest that serves as the promotion engine for a highly demanding and aggressive workplace. I have seen grown men break down in tears.

      Pros

      Very relaxed environment--- work from home, company car, no one is really "looking over your shoulder." Good benefits, pay is decent.

      Cons

      Heaven forbid you actually are doing great at your job-- because they won't move you out of your position. They keep the people who are doing well in their same spots, then promote people with little to no experience, or go outside of Dealer Tire. Sales goals are pretty steep...

      Advice to Management

      Promote the people who actually deserve it. My jaw constantly drops every week when we get a new email saying "XXX has been promoted to XXX"

      I have been working at Dealer Tire full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Good salary, bonus compensation, company car and some benefits. Good customers and manufacturer reps to work with and to sell to.

      Cons

      Work life balance, too many bosses, little help from distribution to help sales. Needs updated distribution platform. Good, better, best selection is usually overwhelming dealing with a multi manufacturer Dealership. Too many KPIs to track, you are managed by spreadsheet, and micromanaged from levels above you. You answer to your boss, your bosses boss, the account manager for the car line, the auto manufacturer rep, the auto manufacturer regional office, etc. - you do one thing wrong and the whole group comes down on you.

      Advice to Management

      Simplify the sales process. Get rid of some of the KPIs or at least train managers better on how to understand what they are looking at. Too many car lines to track, and takes too much time to open and close the month when you have Core Accounts. Home office personnel are childish and juvenile when you are at the home office. Many are not trained in their profession- hr personnel seem not to be able to complete basic paperwork. If a home office person makes an error hurting the field employee - they will flat out lie and get others in the office to back them - placing all blame on the field sales person.

      Fix the petty problems and the company will be much better.
