He was unsure of the current hiring status but didn’t want to miss his chance. Within no time, Brad was a part of Team West Herr!
He mentions that when he started, he was a sales assistant to Amanda Westley. He then quickly moved to being on his own!
Throughout his career here at West Herr, Brad has only ever worked at the Subaru of Orchard Park location. He talks about the lifelong friends he has made throughout his time there.
“There’s no one here that I wouldn’t hang out with outside of work,” Brad says as he reiterates how great of a store this is to work at. He says his favorite part of the job is the friendships with his coworkers and seeing the excitement from people when taking home their new car.
