Sonic Automotive Reviews

Be prepared to be micro managed to the point where you can't take proper care of your business and guests becuse you are forced to be "on base". That means you will stand for hours to wait for someone to walk in the door and then rotate to 2nd base to wait even longer. This makes no sense but they have not caught on to this total waste of resources yet. If they tell you what the "average" salesperson makes, please don't believe it. It's designed to make you say to yourself "If he can do it, I can do it!" Well, if you can do it if you will sacrifice your personal life. Good news though, corporate will send you a nice email on all the holidays your working telling you to enjoy your "family time" and wishing you God's blessings. You will also have to reach a near impossible set of bars to do so. If you DO get there, it will be awhile before your next review and fair compensation for it.

By all appearances - corporation is out of tune (?) with what is going on at the dealer level. Fly-by-the-seat-of-the-pants, make-up-things-as-you-go atmosphere with stunning lack of processes, procedures, and coordination. Nobody on same page inter-departmentally. LONG days & some six day weeks; pay not at all commensurate with the brutal hours put in. This from a company that claims to recognize & understand that employees have a family life outside of work. Alarmingly offensive/uncomfortable work environment at times - if somebody knew a good lawyer in the family, they could potentially have a field day here.
