Pros

Cheaper tyres, servicing and MOT. That's it!

Cons

Directors think they are royalty, who can throw their weight around, show little gratitude towards those who actually do the work and think you should stay late to complete something they given to you at quarter to 5. Salaries are a joke, and moreover no reward for working hard, no recognition, and directors get tickets to football and Motorsport and basically brag about it. A company run by a load of dinosaurs with no respect or care for staff. Did not have one performance review or goal setting whilst I was there. The company wants people to stay in their roles for all eternity and not growing on their positions. The number of individuals with obnoxious, lazy or arrogant personalities is ridiculous. Never punished and you can include management and directors in this. To sum it up this company is very backwards. It was a complete culture shock when I joined, and I doubt it'll ever improve. Early start, long hours and lack of recognition and career prospects are a real put off to you I hope. Salary increases are absolutely laughable, whilst the directors probably get yearly salary increases touching 4 digits, whilst the rest of us do the hard graft. I regret joining this company, years of my life I'll never get back

Pros

They payed salaries on time.

Cons

During my time at the company, I witnessed ongoing cronyism within senior leadership. A senior manager reporting directly to the CEO repeatedly promoted personal friends from lower-level roles—particularly within the Service Desk and similar entry-level departments—into senior positions despite limited qualifications or relevant experience. One notable example involved promoting an individual who previously managed a five-person Tier 1 Service Desk team to Head of Department in under 18 months. Following these promotions, departmental performance declined significantly. Instead of addressing leadership shortcomings, management placed blame on staff and initiated a redundancy process affecting approximately 50 employees. Throughout this period, several serious concerns arose: • HR policies and redundancy procedures were not followed, including required consultations and fair selection criteria. • External hires were brought in who were personal friends of managers, demonstrating clear favoritism. • Some employees were dismissed without adhering to legally required redundancy processes, raising potential issues of unlawful termination. • Staff reported experiences of bullying, unkept promises, dismissive attitudes, and a general unwillingness from leadership to learn or improve. • The workplace culture became increasingly exclusionary and poorly managed.
