Energizing work environment that enables you to consistently learn and succeed
Online Sales & Finance Manager (Current Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 13 June 2022
Since my first day at 401 Auto, I was able to immediately learn copious amounts of new information that would be beneficial to me in my new role. The management and staff are extremely supportive and offer a helping hand whenever needed. It is a great environment to be involved in that allows you to work hard and utilize your skillset.
Pros
Free coffee

Disappointing
Finance Manager (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 10 June 2022
I worked as a finance manger for this company for almost 4 years. I was a dedicated employee and always looked out for the best interest of the company and ensured others success as well as my own. They promoted a sales person from another location to general manger of the location I worked at. He was young which wasn't the problem. His lack of communication and people skills had us left which multiple customer complaints. Questionable and improper training to new hires as well. When brought up concerns to upper management was let go for NO CAUSE. The Typical reason this company fires people.
Pros
Decent income
Cons
hours, management

Finance Manager (Current Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 6 June 2022
It’s an lifetime opportunity to work for this company. From the very first day I had the feeling that I made a good choice to work for this company. I’m happy that I’m getting closer each and every day towards my goal. Thank you 401 group of companies.

Don't waste your time
Parts coordinator (Former Employee) - Sudbury, ON - 26 May 2022
My coworkers were great and I enjoyed what I was doing. I was hired and had a start date on a Wednesday. I get there at the set time and had to wait for almost an hour for the manager to come greet me. I then filled in some paperwork and thats it. No orientation like was scheduled. Never get shown how to clock into the computerized system. Get to work right away. Told by the coworkers that they are glad I was there as they really needed the help due to staffing. Things go fine that day and for the rest of the week. Friday comes and the manager comes to see me at 4PM telling me there was a "communication error within the company" and that they'd be letting me go for no fault and that they'd be "going a different direction". Basically I wasted 3 days. I told the people I worked with what had just happened for them to be disappointed they have to cover what I was doing again plus their own jobs, they also mentioned that communication errors within the company were common. I will never spend money with this company at any of their locations and I suggest you don't waste your time with them.
Pros
none
Cons
no job security

With 401Auto you will learn about everything from sales to time management and financing.Everything is fast paced but can be learned at your own speed while making money and having fun.

Stay away
Service (Former Employee) - Sudbury, ON - 9 April 2022
I can't even express how horrible this dealership is. Very unorganized, no sense of direction, little to no leadership and no discipline whatsoever. The fact that several people within this organization have their heads so far up their a** makes it unbearable to work. Do not work for Sudbury Mitsubishi/401 Auto.
Pros
Some good employees
Cons
Lots

Great place to work with lots of room for professional growth
Sales Associate (Current Employee) - Lindsay, ON - 5 April 2022
This is my first job selling cars and they hired me without any prior experience. Have definitely learned a lot during my time here and can’t wait to see what the future holds during my time at 401.

Good Place to Work - Long hours and Lower Pay
Receptionist (Former Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 4 April 2022
Most of the people you work with are great and there is always room to grow, which is great. You typically start a little above minimum wage and it's hard to move up from there in the same position.

Zero Integrity from the top on down
Sales and Finance (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 15 March 2022
This company is run/owned by people that want you to slam clients in a vehicle or trailer loan. All in the name of making the biggest profit you can.Part of your license includes ethics. If you have ethics, don't work here. If you stand up for yourself, you'll be fired. If you're not prepared to answer your phone 24/7 or work 6 days a week, don't apply here.I'm pretty sure that some of their internal payroll activities could be challenged too. They'll deduct stuff from your pay or hold commissions, arbitrarily. HR are puppets to senior management.I could go on with specific examples of things they do. I've seen enough to write a book. Maybe I will....
Pros
Potential for a great income
Cons
Too many to list

Your work will be recognized
Finance Manager (Current Employee) - Ottawa, ON - 10 March 2022
This is a very fair environment, where your hard work and respect will be rewarded tenfold. There is a lot to learn and a lot to be doing, and everyone will help you because they want to see you succeed. Very apparent opportunities for growth, always seeing people excel, makes it easy to put in the work to get there yourself
Pros
Everyone wants to see you succeed!

Great group of people!
FINANCE MANAGER (Current Employee) - 2060 Commerce Park Dr. Innisfil, ON - 9 March 2022
The team here, in all departments, are very friendly and willing to help. Management has high expectations, but with that, they are always willing to help in anyway needed to achieve the goals set out.Like all/most sales and commission based jobs, you get what you put in. This includes sometimes having to work late or even a couple hours on your off days...comes with the territory of auto sale. Can be very rewarding financially, justifying the extra time put in.

Great team and supportive management
Finance Manager (Current Employee) - Cambridge, ON - 9 March 2022
I work at the Cambridge location and the staff is very friendly and helpful and the management is very hands on with an open-door policy. I have worked at previous automotive dealerships and would definitely recommend 401 Auto Cambridge over my other employers. You are provided leads which is very helpful and lessens the stress of having to wait for walk-in customers. Managers ensure that new hires have ample training and continue to check in to provide help when needed. There is a lot of room for personal and professional growth if you have the drive to do so.
