Pros
Competitive commission structure: Don Davis offers a higher commission rate than the average car dealer, with added incentives for meeting sales targets, plus a pay guarantee during the 6-week training period.
Professional training: The company provides a free 2-day training program through a third-party contractor, including mystery shopper training.
Ongoing development: Daily training sessions before the store opens help keep the sales team sharp with updated sales tactics, word tracks, and essential job skills.
Cons
1. Unbalanced work-life: While management does attempt to be more flexible, this is typical for the car sales industry and not unique to Don Davis.
2. Unclear expectations: Management sets very high expectations without providing guidance or support on how to achieve them. These come across more as demands than constructive job expectations.
3. Poor communication and micromanagement: Leadership often falls short in clear communication and tends to micromanage. The work environment was significantly different from how it was presented during the three-stage hiring process.
