Heed the red flags - Recensione dipendente - Area Sales Director presso Solera

Yes, the money is tempting but unless you have 10 years of industry experience, dealers will not take you seriously. Nobody likes to be micromanaged but being left to your own devices without a lifeline (your manager is as new if not newer than you and is probably going to change 4-5 times in the short time you're there) is not the best alternative. You will not get the type of training you need to perform up to par if you've never worked in a dealership. Whatever territory they sold you on in order for you to accept the job offer is meaningless, you'll more than likely have to sell in states you've never visited and have to travel overnight to hit your numbers, regardless of what the recruiter promised you. This is a competitive industry, and Solera's products, although good, don't have the type of brand recognition they need in order to get a dealer's attention since "Solera" is all a dealer will see when you walk into a dealership. The culture at Solera is absolutely horrible; Morale is low and if someone seems enthusiastic its because they are either very new or they are very artificial.
