New job at a dealership!

[Porkchop]

So I may have locked down my first "big boy" job out of school, seeing that I have 2 classes left for graduation. It just so happens to be at a motorcycle dealership too. And its NOT vehicle sales!!!! I consider it a good starting point, and a step in the right direction, considering the current job market.

The job is a finance department manager. Part of his email says. "The daily duties will include the selling and presentation of company back end products (financing, service-contracts, maintenance agreements, etc.), obtaining and managing financing of vehicles, processing of vehicle purchase documents and title work, administration and maintenance of vendor relationship for all back-end products. The finance associate is also responsible for keeping track of data related to KPIs and reporting on weekly, monthly and annually."

Base salary is meh, but it also includes graduated compensation, which bumps it to a good number for a young person. So yet again, it is a good starting point. Best plus.... after 3 months you get bike purchase assistance and dealer discounts. Can you say newer SS??? Hot season (Mar-Aug) is 50 hours a week, Sep-Feb is 40 hrs a week.


Anybody work at a dealer before? Anybody work in dealer finance? Any advice or comments on the job?
