Pros

Good renumeration packages. Some great team members across the businesses who show great resilience.

Cons

Since G1 bought Inchcape, they culled any culture or team spirit. The senior leadership lacks basic communication and the culture is now us vs them. The UK CEO was more bothered about his “new fancy office” than listening to his team and helping merge the businesses and address concerns. He led multiple senior management meetings and had little wisdom or direction to offer, just nonchalant responses which lacked any foundation. What was once a team first, results driven business, with a great support network to compliment success. Has become a cold, egotistic, blame culture with little care towards its employees.
