Pros

Management tries to create a good fun culture, cars are in good condition and priced well

Cons

Sales Comp plans can change in an instant with no warning and this kills the morale. Last pay-cut was 30% cut. Sales people may work days off to keep sales pace at an acceptable level

We do recognize the challenges of working in a rapidly growing company - and it is difficult at times to design long term compensation structures that remain in alignment with business strategy when our sales and sales team are both growing at a very rapid pace. This is why we try to really explain to potential new tribe members that in order to be happy and have success, you will need a high tolerance for change. However, we are one of the very few automotive dealers that offers guaranteed base salaries for our salespeople - and those base salaries make up an average of 80% of our teams' total earnings. This should help to minimize the impact of pay plan changes because they only affect around 20% of sales compensation. So a 30% cut in bonus structure doesn't affect the 80% of pay that is base salary. Since the last plan change, over 50% of our team has actually made more money with the new plan by the 2nd month in effect. I encourage you to talk to those having success and perhaps talk to your sales leader about how to focus on areas that align with the business model and will improve success under the current plan. Thank you for your candid comments! Brandi B.
