Inchcape reviews

1. Team leaders frequently openly discuss (gossip about) absent staff members to staff who are present in the office. 2. Seems to be a massive aversion to face to face discussions - most communication done to "the guys" (even though the majority of the workforce is female) via e-mail. Very impersonal. 3. Company blatantly lies about a poll being done to get staff input, when in fact they have no facts/figures to back up their statement and a poll was definately not conducted on our site. 4. Very secretive and sly about the way they put changes in place. For example, at the site where I work, full time staff were given additional training leading to an incentive opportunity, whilst part time staff had to find out they were not being given the training "through the grapevine." Even though it is still a trial run, the company has given no reasonable justification as to why part time staff have not been trained or included in the incentive. 5. Bonuses and incentives offered on one hand and taken off with the other. You lose bonus if you are more than 4 minutes late over a month or a colleague at a remote site happens to make a complaint about you. The company has many avenues to prevent paying you a bonus. 6. Progression opportunites are few and far between. You are treated like a number and not an individual. The company selection process is very intense, but if you come to work for this company forget all your skills and qualities. You will become an automaton. 7. No regular staff meetings. These seem to be totally random and infrequent. If you happen to be off on a day when a meeting takes place then it seems to be totally random as to whether vital information is ever communicated to you or not. 8. The company has a policy that only 1 full time staff member and 1 part time staff member off at any one time. They have a policy that no staff to take time off at Xmas and New Year but due to their idiotic rest of the year policy, this leads to a built up of holidays so loads of staff off at Xmas. 9. Staff mistrust each other and the management due to team leaders having allowed former staff to get away with earning huge bonuses through deceit to customers. Too lengthy to go into the exact details here of the exact situation, but I do believe from reading other reviews that this is indicative of Inchcape's culture.

it has been reported that the back of house team particularly the Human Resource team, utilizes bullying tactics to remove individuals from the company whom they personally dislike. This behavior has caused distress among employees and has led to attempts to address the issue with corporate managers Unfortunately, these attempts to address the issue only escalated the situation. It is concerning that a company known for its supportive culture would have such a toxic dynamic within its HR department. It is important for Trivett Automotive Retail to address and rectify this issue to ensure a safe and inclusive workplace for all employees. Bullying in any form should not be tolerated and it is the responsibility of the company to take action and create a positive work environment for all staff members
