Pros

no pros on employment here unless you have the Bergey name

Cons

Long hours, low pay, upper management does not listen to their managers opinions, they are 20 years behind other dealers in the area, family gets to do whatever they want while the rest of the employees cover their jobs, expect you to work miracles while tying your hands.

Lack of diversity in hiring

Pros

Well run, family owned company for almost 100 years. Large company footprint in the PA, NJ and VA areas where there are multiple new/used vehicle dealerships as well as commercial truck leasing/sales, wholesale parts and retread tires. The company is owned by a Mennonite family and has a family representative in each dealership location. Due to Mennonite roots, they just started (in 2017-2018) training some female family members to act as "Dealers" within the company. Prior to that, the women only worked in office jobs and sales, but not management.

Cons

In the last couple of years they started including a religious booklet with each sale, proselytizing their beliefs. I felt that was not the way to do business. In addition, their religious background informs their decisions when it comes to what the company health insurance offers (and does not, including birth control). The company is rife with nepotism and hires mainly Mennonites, at least in the suburban Philadelphia area where their dealerships are located. This may be preferrable to some, but I think lack of diversity in a company is a con and religion should not play a role in your dealings with customers (ie handing out religious booklets).

Pros

The Bergey family is very kind.

Cons

They don't pay competitive wages, don't reward long term employment, you will be lucky to get a 25 cent raise, they are more concerned with hiding profits in real estate for tax purposes than actually improving the company, can't even get basic shop equipment to do jobs properly, the only shops to get any attention as far as infrastructure are the ones the vehicle manufacturers mandate changes or risk losing the dealership, they provide absolutely no training for technicians, we watch safety videos on vhs every few months if that counts,
