This is not a new dealership. But, we are hiring for a bunch of stuff. Sales Associate, Internet Sales Consultant, F&I Administrator, Vehicle Inventory Control, Detailers, TEchs, and a Cashier. Mostly Full Time. It’s all at Bobby Rahal in Wexford, but we are opening a new dealership downtown in the next year or so.

As far as starting pay, just cause you work at Mercedes doesn’t mean you can afford one.😃 🆒

$30K a year translates to approximately $14.42 an hour, assuming you get paid BY THE HOUR for 40 hours a week.

I forgot, we are opening what thet’re calling the “Annex” down the street. It’s for the overflow we have here. It’s going to be right behind the McDonalds on 19 in Wexford.

no… that’s not how it works… i can do quick math, but overtime counts… as well as undertime… meaning actually work 38.5 hours = paid for 40… it’s salary, non-exempt, meaning you can get overtime… which is like 30 an hour… so it’s around 15 or something…

however, it does not break down to a nominal houry rate.

yes, I know that… I was simply translating to hourly by 52 weeks a year, 40 hours a week. (However, if you do 12 months a year with an average of 173.33 hours per month, you get the same $14.42 an hour)

ive always got high hopes!

I can make that much $$ easy down here, but cost of living is damn near impossible.

Ive been looking at house’s for rent up in the burgh area, and what would go for 5-600/month up there is easily 1000+ here…
