it really comes down to the dealership

when i worked at Wolfe Subaru it was a 1 man show, i did everything and there was no help because at the time it was a small dealership

when it went through renos i moved next door to Langley Chrysler which is a store with over 400 cars on the lot. so it was alot more relaxed because there was other lot guys but because it was a larger store i had chance to move up from lot guy to detailer. and then from detailer i went into the internet marketing for the dealership

we recently purchased the gold key vw store and i got promoted to lot/detail manager for those guys, luckily for me their detail/lot department dosnt fck around. if its service wash anything with nice or dark paint gets a hand mitt wash. every detail gets full polish (not just a wash n some tire shine)

anyways point is.. every dealership will be different. based on how you work and where you work there is plenty of room to learn and move up. so this summer job may turn into something a little more serious

as goes for wages, for subaru i was at 12 an hour. then chrysler i was at 14 i think until i started the internet marketing where i was put on a salary that works out to about 19 an hour and my recent promotion has alot more responsibility but is the same wage for now until more is put on my plate
