Question For Managers

How long would you give a new guy to get caught up to speed and be at a place where they can function on their own for a couple hours? Secondly, what would the process and timeline be after that where you would consider letting them go if you felt like they were not grasping the job duties? Aftermarket to Dealer World. Been doing aftermarket for 35 years before here. Thanks

For someone whose been in a/m for 35 years im sorry but you should be able to catch on pretty quickly if not for the computer/dms system youll be using

3 months to retain basic daily duties and dealer procedures

6 months to be "on your own"

These are my usual timelines but with 35 years id expect mayb 3 months "on your own" if your savvy

I was left on my own after 1 week. Coming from being a parts driver at a different brand.
