Working at Yark Auto in Toledo, OH: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Toledo, OH Area

What do you like about working at Yark Auto?

"I loved having my own niche in the auto industry, that I was extremely successful at. I single-handedly created a multi-million dollar internet sales department for our dealer group, in the Used Car Building. The rest of the New Car Franchises (8 New Car Locations) as well as the other 4 Used Car Lot's Internet Sales Representatives would emulate my entire process because of my success and results. I loved helping customers get into the vehicle they wanted, especially when I had to fight to get them financed when I knew they deserved a vehicle and would make the payments. It was very rewarding to see the fruits of my labor with creating a department and watching it grow from the ground-up and I was the Gross Profit Sales Leader for the entire organization, in a business when at the time, it was thought that my position could not generate profits, let alone lead the organization that was the #1 in Sales in NW Ohio and SE Michigan."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"A tip that I would have for others interviewing with this company is that there are huge financial awards that can be achieved here if they are willing to make the sacrifices. That is in this industry as a whole, not with just this employer although this specific employer does work longer hours. I would also say that enthusiasm and building rapport is what will contribute to their success, along with gaining product knowledge and to always keep an open mind and not to pre-judge any customer."

What don't you like about working at Yark Auto?

"After 7+ years, the hours and schedule wore on me. I believe there needs to be a balance in both your professional and personal life and in the car/auto industry, there is no balance. The money was definitely rewarding but at the sacrifice of a personal and family life."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Prospect, find out customer needs and close the sale."
