You need to sell cars to make money! - Floor Salesman AutoNation Employee Review

Great work environment and great community

Very busy often not enough people

My medical insurance went down

Luxury brand salespeople beware. I have been in luxury auto sales for 16 years. Autonation acquired our store. Their payplan is the exact same one across the country for every store. Ours even says "trucks" and we don't sell trucks. Never did. We are getting paid so little that it's actually insulting. I went from making $100k+ per year to now wondering if I will even make $50k in a year. It's actually terrifying along with insulting. They also make unattainable quotas to meet and won't hesitate to fire an employee who has been with a company for over 20 years for not meeting their unattainable quotas. After they fired 1/8 of our sales staff, those of us left are stretched too thin, we don't have enough coverage to help the clients, we can't help them properly, we can no longer provide a luxury experience, we're burnt out, and it will affect our CSI which will affect our already too-low pay. We're working harder, smarter, and longer for literal pennies. It's absolutely miserable and it's cruel.
