Briefly describe your overall experience at your company
What do you like best about the leadership team?
They ask and listen to our questions and wants and needs.
Constant contact, they always communicate the big picture and aren't afraid to admit where they were wrong.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Stop having favorites and treat employes equal
More women. More miniorities. Less Germans. Less beauracracy.
Understanding the needs of their employees as well as their customers and not be afraid to make changes and or step outside the box
What is the best part about your compensation package?
Vehicle for self and spouse
Insurance vacaction and leasing a car
A total package above industry standards.
Company vehicle leasing program, outstanding.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Compensation is flat after you join. It's a you scratch my back culture, not a meritocracy. I have had multiple offers much higher that I'm considering. I also do my managers job / they are obsolete. Director+ comp is fantastic. Get there and do the bare minimum. 95% in that role do so.
Employee share of benefit cost rises each year; pensions have been eliminated; benefits to retirees have all but ended.
No transparency on grade level compensation. Medical and vehicle privileges continue to be cut at a larger expense to the employees
There should be more opportunities for bonuses and raises
What are some of the best things about your team?
We work together towards the dealers and company's goals.
Leadership, team member quality, openness to learn from each other, TRUST, and support when things go bad and good.
We stick together and help each other out and we also contribute to the team equally
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Have 360 reviews. Remove the bottom 5% performers every year. Repremand ELT with low enagment scores. Do more surveys than 1x year (prescribed by Germany) and get rid of lazy Directors+. Too much middle management pushing paper.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
There was nothing there postive at work
It is refreshing and not stuck to one model.
A mission that aligns with personal values, and the ability to disagree with others until proven otherwise. Debates are openly encouraged to ensure we are moving forward with the best idea.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Accountability. It's that simple. No clear goals for departments, teams or individuals leads to a do what you feel like until the next fire drill mentality.
The leadership team needs to remain professional at all times and avoid gossiping with the employees
What did you like most about the interview process?
Being able to speak and time answering question
It is based on qualifications.
Speaking directly with my potential manager, and the avoidance of useless "cover all" behavioral questions. It was more of an open discussion as to what they were doing, and how my experience would/could help.
Getting flown out to California for the final interview.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Speak to more people that work there. Improve onboarding.
What makes you most happy at work?
Being aloud to do my position without constant overview.
Passionate team, and incredible manager, and high visibility work.

Needs to be more professional as well as allowing diversity among the leadership team
