Don't take this the wrong way, but here is the way I see it:


1. You can't possibly be adding a whole lot of value to your dealership, if you were you'd be getting paid a lot more.  The job responsibilities you outlined are typically handled by a 5 year or more veteran.  How would you rate your performance on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best?  If it's above a "7" I would walk in to the GM or owners office and demand a raise plus better hours.  One must have balance in their life.  The hours might have been okay in the beginning with the enthusiasm of getting the job, but you'll be burnt out before the summer heat arrives.  You are probably already experiencing this, thus the original posting.


2. Quit your job and take one selling cars.  You could make six figures and work less hours selling vehicles.


3. Keep doing what you're doing and be the best you can be.  Coming here is a good place to start your "edumacation!"  Hone your skills and then take them to a dealership that will compensate you accordingly.  There's nothing wrong with working your ass off to get ahead in life, just make sure you have a future goal and a plan to get there.  Use this opportunity as a stepping stone to your next one. 


I am guessing you are under 30 and live in a small town, you can have a bright future in this business.  Start a journal and document your accomplishments so you can tell a story on your next interview.  I'd be impressed by this if I were interviewing you.


Good luck!
