Hamilton Volvo

If you just want a job where you can collect a paycheck with minimal effort, this is not the dealership for you. Everybody is held accountable and expected to perform at a high level every day as you are dealing with customers with luxurious expectations. 
If you can work steadily throughout the day and provide consistently good work, this job will be a breeze for you. While it is true that turnover here has been high in the last couple or three years, its because of the affomentioned above. Either poor work ethic, poor performance, poor attitude or all of the above so more or less there was a general house cleaning to weed out the underachieving staff members. Bring thick skin, a smile and a good work ethic to work every day and you'll love your time at this dealership! 

I can honestly say that there aren’t too many family run dealers that have the heart and passion that this one does for its people. You are treated like family from day one. You are supported by management from all levels, taught processes and ensured to be given the tools to be successful. Wherever there are lessons to be learned management teaches instead of scolds. It’s a fun place to work from the Detailer to the owner everyone is happy to be there. The brand is doing wonderful things so you feel a part of something very special. It’s not a high volume dealer but it might get there one day. Commission structure is also very strong, so if you’re a good salesperson expect big pay cheques. Overall, would highly recommend to work here. You won’t be disappointed. 

You can’t let someone who’s had his hand held his whole life “lead” a company and expect anyone to want to stay. Overworked without a single day of training due to lack of employees planning and scheduling or care. Misinformed about start times and pay by so called sales manager and also never received benefits in my 9 months of employment here while actively paying for them. I’ve never felt I’ve taken a day of work home with me but with this job felt like everyday was just getting more and more tiring. While the owner and finance department is non existent the parts manager is an amazing hard worker and easy to get along with as well as the HR Dept head and technicians if any of them are left by the time anyone reads this. This job taught me a lot about employment and how to watch out moving forwards during the interview process. 

This is possibly one of the greatest, if not the greatest, business in Hamilton. Management is very quick to address any concerns and clear any frustrations and they do this professionally, accurately, and with your best interests in mind. As a salesperson, I had the tools I needed whenever I needed them. This means training, help from colleagues, product, lunch you name it, it was there. Turnover is common in the automotive industry, and you can find a little bit of it here because some people like to try new things but that’s normal. In my years with Hamilton Volvo I have seen it grow, I have grown, and I have fond memories of my time within the best environment to work for in the automotive industry.

There are not enough positive things to say about working at Hamilton Volvo. My manager was the best, the most supportive, and incredible knowledgeable. Altogether, upper management of Hamilton Volvo as a whole is the BEST of any dealership I have ever known. They have proven to me that this is a place where people THRIVE. Customer service is incredible. The treatment of employees is absolutely perfect. Hard work and dedication are core to success here. They truly show appreciation. It can be fast paced, but, if you are smart it is the right place for you. It was a rewarding place to work and I wouldn’t change it for the world! I want everyone to experience working at Hamilton Volvo.

Do not work here!!! Management is awful, treat you like garbage and micromanage everything. Very little appreciation and recognition from anyone of authority. They expect an arm and leg and then some. Prepare to not have a break/lunch and get talked to for not taking them. Service manager doesn’t know his left from right and prioritizes the wrong stuff. Don’t think you’ll get a raise even after working there a war I didn’t see a penny for a raise. The owner will sit in Oakville and watch the cameras for Hamilton and call the manager to complain about stuff he sees Beware of when the owner sneaks in the back door and pulls you off your job for something stupid and useless. Overall this is a terrible place to work.

Hamilton Volvo is one of those dealerships where it is a family run business that runs a very tight ship. Everyone is treated fairly, they want you to succeed and they train you to fill the gaps if you are struggling a bit. The sales department management is top-notch when it comes to making sure you are successful, they support you every step of the way until you can manage on your own. They are a performance based organization, so be prepared to work, but, regardless they are fun and collaborative to work for. The service department and parts guys are also great. I'd highly advise you apply here if you want a good family oriented experience and make some good money. 

They will start you at a competitive pay just to overload you with stress and always being talked down to. Turnover is terrible with having a new fave almost weekly. Management is extremely cheap and only think of the bottom dollar. No acknowledgment of how well you work. GM never actually in office but will watch you on cameras all day. Treat staff like garbage and wonder why they can't get good help. Owner state's customers don't care about faces just that we do a good service. Right.. no staff lunches because owners can't be bothered. 0 work life balance. Will expect you to work overtime uncompensated because they don't want you going over 44 hours per week. Total waste of time.

I loved Volvos. Great brand and customer loyalty. If you buy one then you are a Volvo owner for life. Customers are super loyal and never really question repairs. Just fix it. Techs were strong and very knowledgeable. Unfortunately they lost their lead tech and service has felt it. Management house cleaned and during the last 6 months that I was an advisor I lost my Service Manager. Parts Manager, Sales Manager and all heck broke loose. This could be an awesome dealership but Management has tapered the enthusiasm respect and understanding that was sadly needed. I own 3 Volvos and sadly will never have them serviced at this dealer. 

The management staff is the biggest problem here. None of the individual department managers are very active. In most cases the other staff members run everything and are far more involved in the traditional management tasks, which is surprising since the departments consist of 1-3 other employees. Some employees don't take their jobs seriously and put in seriously low levels of effort which spills over and effects the rest of the business.
