Pros

the team of technicians don't care for titles, so be it master tech or apprentice we all work together to get the jobs done.

Cons

we were not told we were being recorded on CCTV in the workshop, which I'm sure is some form of breech of data protection. When the service team do well the managers get to go on holiday for the weekend while the techs carry on doing the work. The only time meetings are held is to tell us we are not making enough money, or how the managers are benifiting from our work. To get any training, we have to tell our manager atleast five times before anything is actually put into play. MD likes to threaten us with our jobs if we are not doing so well, "Gross Misconduct" is one of the MD's favourite threats.

Pros

There are many price reductions on automobiles, retail items and a website that offers reduced holidays etc. I only work part time, so the hours suit me. It is not my career.

Cons

Car mechanics are a miserable bunch of people. My position can be lonely and boring. There have been 6 redundancies last week, so the car retail trade is feeling the pinch.(October 2008)

Pros

Advantages are those associated with working for large group, good purchase discount scheme, pension possibilities, and share purchase scheme is good.

Cons

Poor communication throughout the group especially from immediate GM, lack of respect for employees shown by management, not senior management in particular, but line managers were bad. Senior management were very aloof. Monthly meetings were introduced as a briefing forum but feedback was not encouraged and line managers gave the impression this was a chore to be performed as quickly as possible to minimize downtime. This gave the impression to staff that management thought the briefing a waste of time.
