Pros
- Driving the cars is a great perk. - There are some hardworking, passionate employees around the business. - If you have a good manager, it has great potential. - The salary is good. - Looks great on a CV.
Cons
Unfortunately any pros are completely overhauled by the toxic environment that now exists. - Departments don't trust each other or work together and as a result, there is very little cooperation between most teams. - I have seen a handful of people forced to resign due to stress caused entirely by work. Some incredibly bright and passionate individuals have been bullied out by poor managers. False accusations, rumour spreading, threatening comments, exclusion from meetings, micro managing, finger-pointing and countless instances of overworking employees. Even though senior managers know it's going on, they refuse to confront the issue and anyone unlucky enough to be the target is expected to grin and bear it... without the support of their team. - Parking is horrific. - Any attempt to be creative and try something different is next to impossible considering all the processes and approval lines you need to go through. - Internal communication was limited - junior employees generally didn't receive updates on how the business is performing as a whole and as a result were lulled into a false sense of security... To be frank, it felt like a snake pit. There were some terrible managers who made working in the office unbearable. One can only hope things change as it’s a shame to feel this way about a brand I used to admire.
