ZANCHIN AUTOMOTIVE GROUP

It was a well worth experience as starting out. Unfortunately the work culture here is absolute nonsense, where managers who get paid salary, are able to sell cars, to take away commission from the sales people who make their living off the commission. This workplace teaches you that the people with power can do anything and what they say is the golden rule. Its mostly politics, of he/she did this and that, how one person stole your client, where then the commission was split. They are also very unethical, a lead system that is suppose to go to all sales people only goes to one salesperson, then he takes whichever is a good lead and send the rest to the other 4 managers. Unfortunately, we the other sales people get leads that are given to our respective managers who point out that sadsads AT gnkjsfjk dot com is a real email and should be contacted. When we contact this email, it comes back as in a email doesn't exist format. When the meetings happen which are suppose to be every week, but they only happen in 4-6 weeks. When a manager is asked a question on where are the good leads going to, he feels threatened and literally rages on the salesperson who asked the question. Managers then say we sent you leads stop asking the questions, when we point out we told you the leads you sent us were wrong. The salesperson who was preferred over the rest with the system had more than 30 sales for the month, while the rest of us averaged 4-10. If you want to learn how people take advantage of you, this is the best place to work. Managers take the good sales and leave you with the customers who walk in that have no appointments with the managers or sales people. The managers make more than 100k and if they take our customer, and we still have to split with them no matter what. The owner wont do anything, the general manager is threatened when a question is proposed to him, the other managers just don't care about the sales people. You ask for help, they get mad, you follow what they say, and still get mad, you do exactly and everything thing they say and something goes wrong they come raging on you. Its like anything you do you will get a lecture or even get sent home. There is ultimately no coordination between managers. You tell one manager something, the other manager is not aware of me telling the other manager what happened, and then you are sent home because they mis-communicated. I lose the sale that i had that day and its given to their preferred sales agent. I am sent home after all the hard work into making the sale. I will never work for them again, period or their group. Thanks for reading, this is my personal opinion and i am writing on behalf of other sales people that are still there.

The company has high turnover rates, is slow to release Health Benefits to its employees when they reach appropriate service time and is quick to get rid of staff should they become ill or injured on the job using a whatever it takes approach to do so.

Company leadership has no clue about time management and they don't care to fix it - the only thing that is important to them is profit. 

Customer retention would be a problem, if the dealership were not the only option in town. Free oil changes are advertised, but then denied customers when they come in the first time to do business.

Following government laws, regulations or rules is not important. 

Service Canada is already looking at the company for its disregard for simple rules and requirements when it comes to filing Records Of Employment. If you work here, pay attention to your pay cheque carefuly because you never know what you might get or not get.

Oh and who knows what the Ministry of Environment might say or do if they ever made a visit here.

The facility has not seen meaningful upgrades in years. When equipment breaks it gets a cheap temporary fix, breaks again, and the cycle repeats. Requests for basic supplies are routinely denied despite ongoing issues.

Workplace safety is not prioritized. Employees are frequently asked to take on work outside their role. Pay is stagnant regardless of performance or tenure, what you earn on day one is likely what you will earn on your last day. Hard work goes unrecognized and uncompensated.

Management is not approachable. Most employees have stopped raising concerns because nothing changes. Coworkers are generally good people but the management culture has created a difficult environment.

If you value a safe, well-maintained workplace where effort is recognized, there are better options out there

For the most part, all things considered - I liked most of the people I worked with.  I was trying to transition out of the trade of automotive technician due to health/age, but company management refused to take me for other positions within the company or organization.  Was type-cast as a mechanic with nowhere to move, had to leave the company to find work elsewhere in  a different position.  This was heart-wrenching for me as I had no interest in leaving the organization, but felt pushed out.   It could not have been fully personal, as others exhibited trouble in trying to make career changes within the company also.  Automotive industry is cut-throat, this dealer is no exception.  You may think grass is always greener on other side, probably not.  I thought I got along very well with my managers, but I suppose I was mistaken - as seems clear by the way they treated me by pushing me out of the group.

Ownership was nice and upper management was one of the better ones I’ve worked for. That said, another mediocre low volume dealership. Place runs on one advisor and an assistant. Management is lazy, incompetent, inexperienced, and offers zero support. Lube techs have no experience or passion to succeed, so getting any support there is useless, which means it will be all up to you to clean, drain oil, get tires, and lose time when they need something. Techs love avoiding work, so as a half decent tech you will make money, but you will also get stuck with the majority of anything outside the realm of basic services and brakes, including most off brand vehicles. Work handed out as what is most convenient for advisors and managers, based on skill, and not in any order. The shop is also gets very dusty and stinks, with individuals constantly blowing brake dust and brake clean with compressed air, as well as a new clean up department who uses compressed air instead of a vacuum. 

Employees and Staff is amazing, everyone is nice, welcoming, helpful. Hours are good and it pays well, as for benefits that probably different depending on how often you work there and your position. Usually its busy but it changes sometime. Some days are really busy, other days its steady, some days its slow. It all depend on, its usually based of its seasons. I learnt much working at Maple Honda, it has allowed me to grow and improve as a person. However, management doesn't always seem to know what going on. If their is issues going on between you and another employee, I advise you to file a complaint, instead of waiting for them to take notice. Food is provided always, Whenever you hungry you can just grab a quick snack at the snack bar "the front desk", some days they order up lunch. Every Saturday of every week the company buys lunch for your service for coming in. Overall its a pretty amazing place to work at.

Was hired at a time when they had a shortage of techs then let go once the manager was fired and the techs who quit came back. 
Great people to work with and decent shop equipment. 
Money was good and seemed like Newmarket Nissan has a large customer base which is good for a flat rate tech. Flat rate times are also above average for most shops that i have personally worked at.
Techs are required to work long hours and every other weekend. 
The shop foreman was not very helpful in times of need.

New management is ridiculous! Snobbish, no extra hours. Promised raise was never given even after working for a year. Expect you to go out of your way, and don’t get appreciated for it. Social media and advertisement is not modern/ up to date. Horrible place to work at, you will not grow! More like take on stress and go crazy.

Woodbridge Toyota has been serving the Woodbridge community for over 40 years. As a work environment each member does their part in making our customer's experience one to remember by making them feel as part of our Toyota family. The managers are understanding of their staff's needs and circumstances and they go above and beyond to extend a helping hand when needed. Every employee is treated and acknowledged with respect and integrity, which is why majority of the staff has been employed for over 15 years.

I loved working for this group at the beginning.. I made lots of friends and connections. However my base salary was  not even minimum wage. I don’t understand how they think that is acceptable for people working 60+ hours a week and only documenting 40 on each pay stub. Upper management also made it a hostile working environment and made it uncomfortable to come into work some days. Got free pizza each weekend though… woo hoo
