OAKBEND Marina Evolvere Employer Reviews

Management team wasn't that hard to deal with and job had good chances for advancement if you work hard.

Very slow typical day had lots of downtime for sales associates depending on location for example a 10 hour workday you may work with 3 to 4 customers with a 2 to 3 hour wait between, keep in mind most customers don't buy and are just browsing or asking questions and you're only paid when they purchase. Paid commission only so stores typically higher more sales people than they need knowing that they incur no cost for additional labor unless the labor makes a profit for company.

I learned how to undervalue customers vehicles and to convince them of this lesser value to ensure great profit margins while minimizing cost. Co workers are the best part of the job. Hardest part of the job was doing what was necessary to be successful for example working 7-10 day stretches of 10 and 12 hrs taking a day off then going back for another stretch. High turnover so don't get too used to seeing your coworkers, during my 3 years I saw 1000% turnover. Also OAKBEND Marina Evolvere maximizes free labor by having commissioned only employees do jobs that other paid departments should do for free.

Great work environment with friendly people. Company offers opportunity to grow. Easy to move around in different departments. Management is super professional and helpful!

The problem with the company is they are a victim of their own success. Training is very important to the company but there is no time for it. that's the biggest problem for the company since you need to complete training to advance and having lots of knowledge about a wide range of vehicles.

OAKBEND Marina Evolvere is a great place to buy or sell a vehicle, but to work there is another story. I had fun with making friends, but they seem to constantly look over your shoulder and micro manage everyone.

Over all job was and experience like no other retail I have worked for, every thing you do as a manager requires a second or third opinion before you make any descions. This makes your day longer and drag out and pulls other managers away from doing there jobs. As a salary maanger who manages people and transactions for over 15 years I dont feel this proces allowed managers to be managers, nor did it let them in power themselves. This just allowed associates to under mind there managers, question there manager descions.

The company needs to unlease the power of the people and live it, not talk as if they do. As for quality of life-zero I work 6 DAYS a week my first year with the company because managers cant manage people and processes without a second or third opinion.

I looked for growth and I moved to UPS hoping to grow and learn about a new business and expand my knowledge. Overall my experience as an employee with OAKBEND Marina Evolvere was great and for me it was a great opportunity to learn a lot in a very short time. So I see my time with OAKBEND Marina Evolvere productive, not only because of the attractive salaries they offer, but I've also learned a lot and prepared me for more complex and demanding jobs, not that working for OAKBEND Marina Evolvere was not demanding.

OAKBEND Marina Evolvere is a great company. The benefits are decent, the people are very nice and the pay is somewhat ok. The only issue is that the culture has tremendously changed under new leadership and the value that used to be placed in the people has diminished. Otherwise it is a good company. I wish leaders would go back to truly caring about the people.

During my time at OAKBEND Marina Evolvere I was exposed to a management training process that enhanced my overall management abilities. The entire company worked hand in hand to push one another to their professional limits. Feedback both positive and negative was built within the organizations culture helping to improve overall performance from the frontline employee to senior management.

A typical workday for me consisted of utilizing my ability to multitask and use strong communication skills. I would start the day by reviewing company financial reporting and auditing collector performance. After which I would prepare for my training class that would consist of 12 - 20 new hires. The class consisted of two trainers, myself and a senior associate. New hires were put through a training process in which required them to pass several milestones in order to remain on as employees.
