Worst sales job in my life - Anonymous employee Spreen Honda Employee Review

Salary control, moving up, networking , and amazin peers

not much cons but it does take most of ur day

Some coworkers were supportive and tried to help each other when management wouldn’t.

The biggest issue here is the extreme favoritism toward certain individuals who are directly related to upper management. It was well known among the staff that these employees received automatic support, special treatment, easier deal structures, and consistent help closing deals even when they struggled to close anything on their own. Meanwhile, regular salespeople received little to no support. If you brought in a deal, management could be noticeably impatient or even blow the deal out without trying. Several salespeople openly talked about how unfair and demoralizing it was to watch family members receive full attention while others were ignored or set up to fail. There were multiple situations where a salesperson would start a deal, only for management to restructure it in a way that made it harder for them to close and then turn around and give a much better structure to a favored individual so they could close it instantly. This created a workplace where effort didn’t matter; relationships did. Many staff members expressed that the top performers board was often dominated by the same family connected employees not because of skill, but because of the support system behind them. The rest of the team felt the playing field was nowhere near even. I also personally experienced a deal being taken away based on a story that didn’t match what actually happened. When I attempted to verify it with the customer, nothing lined up with the explanation management claimed. This type of situation was not unique it happened to multiple people. Overall, the environment is built to benefit a small circle, not the average salesperson trying to earn a living. It creates frustration, low morale, and constant tension. Many people there quietly feel the same way but don’t speak up out of fear of retaliation.
