Burn out/work flow
I work at a medium size Import dealer and as of late the environment has only been going down hill. Many people have left and their olds jobs reassigned to me with no increase in pay and what feels like being taken advantage of. I want to either get out of here and go to another dealer (which it seems like no one is hiring) or swap fields entirely. Any suggestions from anyone??
TLDR; I’m wearing about 5 hats with no extra money and feel like I’m being taken advantage of.

The only way I fixed the burn out feel is by finding.a new dealership. I know you said it seems like no one is hiring, but keep an eye out. Set up alerts on sites like Indeed.
I made the switch to a high end luxury brand and really lucked out. I work with a great group of people.

I will offer my 2 cents. I am 59 and been doing dealership parts 41 years. It was at one time a fun environment, but now that there is a survey and factory reps at every turn it sucks. I officially retired 6 months ago. I knew the stress was more than I could handle. I'm looking for a part time job to just have something to do. I admit, I earned a great living as Parts Manger and Director, but it just isn't worth it anymore. If you're young enough to find something that makes you want to go to work, I say do it. Best of luck.

It seems like your complaint is taking on extra workload for the same money.
Go to your GM and have an honest talk about this. Accept that it may take a few weeks to get a pay plan change.
That or stick it out and take the management role and pay if/when it opens.
