Pros

Generally fellow employees at all dealerships are very friendly. Really nice location.

Cons

Pay plans are ridiculously low compared to other dealerships. Frequent management shuffles gives feeling of instability. It is said to be a "family dealership" thus customers and employees are "taken care of" but only if you are a member of the Hoffman family. Illegal practices are done in that lunch hours are required to punch but seldom is anyone allowed time to take a lunch. Or sales staff strive for monthly selling bonus, upon "winning" bonus employee is deprived of payment because the store didn't meet expectations for that month. Technicians are paid as if company provides tools, but all they provide is a hammer and screw driver.

Family run business good work environment. Fair pay and benefits. Opportunities for advancement are available ,if your work ethic is good. There was modern equipment with safety a constant concern.

The automotive repair industry changed , with less personal interaction. More of a assembly line atmosphere, rather than personal attention.

Pros

Some very caring employees who still believe in the old days when the company was managed with concern and generosity by the original founder.

Cons

The common thread between employees is bad management and under pay. Typically managers, especially senior management make out like bandits. The only "family" of this dealership is the family that actually owns it. All of the rest are tools to an end. Typical process is an employee say in sales starts to make "too much money personally" according to senior management so that employee's contract gets renegotiated to allow company to make more of that rather than the employee. Continual contract changes must drive Payroll crazy. When you are support staff, consider yourself very lucky to get a $1 raise every couple years. Depends on your immediate manager. Some are old school and won't entertain a raise except once per year which you as the employee have to make a request for while other managers will take initiative and request for an employee's raise at any time based upon employee value and worth. Totally unfair to employees throughout the company. No single policy so employees in different departments are either lucky or penalized dependent on who they report to.
