Pros

- You get paid. - Other techs or parts advisors are great people but all barely surviving. - Dealership admin does a better job at motivating the workshop with food vans and that’s every quarter.

Cons

- Management treat people like dirt with verbal abuse behind peoples backs or when they think you can’t hear them, questioning everything you do and seriously demotivating the team. - Withholding invoicing effecting bonus. - Unable to report anything to management about certain managers due to their friendships outside of work. Previous reports have been swept under the rug. - Will hold you back from progressing. - Questionable sexual “jokes” have been said to women / girls by management that are awkwardly laughed off. - Management will sulk when you push back or pull them up on things. - Snotty / Rude emails from management are a common occurrence.

Pros

Proper by the book company.

Cons

New top management cutting and changing the business to increase profit. (I guess this is the job, but a bit more extreme than seen before). No salary increase in 3 years. Our small team made redundant.
