Wright Chrysler Dodge Jeep, Paul Wright, Jeff Baker Interested in Daily Defamation of Character, Favortism in the Workplace & Funding Mandatory Training?! Apply Here!! Center Texas
I was unable to find a website that allowed employees to sound-off on their employer and I truly hope that this website is helpful to others interested in working for Wright Chrysler Dodge Jeep or any company owned or affiliated with Mr. Paul Wright.
Since Texas is a right-to-work state, there is little more that I can do but complain about the unfair working conditions of this business. Mr. Wright does not take care of his employees in any way whatsoever!
He requires that all salespeople attend mandatory training (very expensive training, I might add) and the saleperson pays for these classes in full. Even though this greedy man makes thousands a year just by his Chrysler certification, he refuses to pay for food, complains about paying for gas, & is no longer willing to pay for a hotel. He explains that since employees receive a Chrysler Debit Card, that only pays the employees if they sale a vehicle & not by much, that, that is back payment enough. Every other dealership in the country compensates their employees for the lost salesfloor time by a daily wage, but don't expect anything except a bad attitude when you get back. They treat you as if you just took an extra long vacation instead of making Paul Wright a richer man than he already is.
Recently, Paul has promoted a man named Jeff Baker as his General Manager, a supposed reformed drug user, but his aggressive in-office behavior would prove otherwise. Jeff Baker has often hit employees in the head and gets in their face when there is a disagreement of some type. This type of behavior goes unnoticed by Paul Wright, a man that refers to himself as "Big Brother" due to the fact that he moniters every area of the dealership from a home survalience system.
These two men are extremely closed-minded & racist individuals & dislike any employee that are not of the same color & doesn't agree with their same views. Company gatherings seem an opportunity to build up Paul Wright's ego as he goes from left-to-right humilating his employees in & out of their presence-surprising behavior from a man that came from virtually nothing.
If you are a disliked employee, you can rest assured that no matter how hard you work, what you have done to improve the company or how long you've worked there, you will most certainly never get a promotion. These backwoods ideals are an important factor to possess if you ever wish to take a step up the ladder.
Paul Wright does very little to help his employees. There is no health care or retirement plan & no matter how hard these men work or how many vehicles they sell, these men struggle to take care of their families. There is no loyalty when it comes to Paul Wright & his company. Recently, a man was fired when he didn't return quick enough after heart surgery-a man that worked for the company for several years.
Customers are discriminated against and suffer due to this unfair treatment. The dealership refused to give one such customer the price they wanted & then sold the same car to another customer of a well-liked employee for an even cheaper price. Management's only explanation to this was "I didn't like the customer."
The purpose of this report is to warn all potential employees of the goings-on at Wright Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Center, Texas & Paul Wright's used car lot in Lufkin, Texas. All working conditions have there perks & downsides, but this place has no perks, no bonuses & a huge downside. My family has suffered from employment at Wright. If someone trys to seek employment elsewhere while employed at Wright, it will become common knowledge and Mr. Wright will quickly fire that employee. The only way out is to just quit-a hard thing to do for someone with a family to take care of.
I've seen these salespeople suffer & age working for this man and working under those he promotes. I've heard the racial comments made at company functions no matter who was present and I live with a salesman thats mental state of mind is in shambles!
I would absoultely love it if something could be done, but this is Texas and these people do what they want because they can.

I undrstand that your husband is now feeling the heat and thats not right but in your defense I understand my family has been in the auto industry for years and most of what you described is true in most dealerships some of the bigger ones will cover it up better but they are still there.

An Apology To Paul Wright, Jeff Baker, Wright Chrysler Dodge Jeep & My Husband
#3Author of original report
Fri, February 06, 2009
Writing the 1st report on Wright Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Center, TX was easy. I was more than angry @ a situation I had no control over & I honestly had no idea how much hurt I would cause to others-especially to husband. I wanted to vent about things I felt were unfair, but the only way I can now be fair is to respond that the company function I spoke of was the only I'd ever attended, besides outside events & to be fair, I had never met Paul Wright before that weekend, so I really didn't know him well enough to judge. Apparently, I took their joking to a different level. At Wright, like I imagine many other dealerships working environments can be, the men employed there joke around in a way that offended me b/c I didn't understand that they really didn't mean any harm. I'm not a vengeful person, but I left there steamed & when I couldn't let go of my anger, I took it out in a direct, but passive-aggressive way-a mistake, but I made an even bigger one in not consulting my husband first. Honestly, I was blowing off steam & I thought it would go unnoticed. I never assumed that my husband would be caught off guard one day & asked why he would do such a thing when, in fact, he had no prior knowledge b/f that day of what I had done. In writing the report, I used every piece of 2nd-hand info I heard against Paul Wright & others & I apologize. For the record, none of these things I'd heard from my husband, but had overheard in different circles, so I had no proof that these things were true. As far as Jeff Baker is concerned, he was never nothing, but nice to me & I apologize for any pain or trouble I caused him as well, as he is someone I very much liked before this company function had occured. I was an angry wife trying to defend a husband that didn't need my help, at least not in that way. I had no clue what kind of damage I would really do to anyone, especially my children & husband. I sincerely hope that this update will conclude this whole ordeal & result in my husband having a great working relationship w/Paul Wright, as it was before. Its where he belongs, where his loyalty lies & I've damaged that. The beef was mine & I hate that I destoyed that for him & hope that in doing this, it can be patched. -E
