I am an ex-enployee of Central Florida Toyota sales department, I started working for this company early 2000 (April, 00), during my interview for employment I was informed about the pay plan for the sales personnel, I agrre to it and started working, I was doing very well years after year, then in a new General Manger came in and changed everything, the new pay plan was 20% on front end and 15% of the 75% back end, I was still doing good and I was happy, until one day. Early I found out that I was being rip-off of most of my commission, when I saw the net profit in the computer and when I got paid it was completely diferent from what I saw earlier.
Then I went back to many of my deals and try to find out if I was being cheated by "mistake" as they said, when I tried to check into it, the finance manager almost go fired by the GM and was repprimended by him.
During my four years that I worked for this company I have reason to believe that if they ever get audited by the government they will have to pay lot of back-commission they never pay us, In have every single purchase order and commission slip since day one until I left the company in July.
There is a little catch to the reason I have never filed a complain, it is that my brother and nefew are still working for this company and I am afraid that they will be fired when they find out about me complaining against them, I would like to know if there is any lawyer who will be willing to take over this case and I will file a law suite against this powerful monster (UAG) United Auto Group and Central Florida Toyota.
Just to mention one little incident, I sold a used car to a customer early (I have the name, date price and the commisiion slip) according the the figures in the computer (which I am not supouse to know) the entire gross benefit was $3300. Front end, when I got paid I got $ 50.00 ("a mini deal") when I asked the finance manager about the gross he stated that it was $3300., then I whent to the GM and he started checking in the computer and asked me how I found out about the gross profit for this particular vehicle, that is when I told him the name of the mngr. And he called this guy and almost fired him on the spot
I could hear him saying that we were not supouse to know that, then he returned back to me and told me that the slip was right and there was not profit in this deal. The manager who also was a salesman before, told me that he was very sorry but he couldn't affort to loose his job. I understand I said to him.
If there is any one out there who want to take on this monster to court, I will be more than happy to filed a law suit, PS: like me there are many more sales people who feel the same way I do, but no one believe that they can figh this people because they are so big and powerful that we can never win this fight.
