Pros

Excellent branding, products and mission. You get to know the products intimately, driving the cars every day all over the place.

Cons

>Sadly incompetent HR who cannot hire and keep sales people. They must be so busy hiring new people every 2 months. >Fear based intimidation style management. Passively intimidating but very fear based. >Extremely unrealistic targets. >Receptionists in any CBD business earn the same base pay. >Commission is hugely lower than other car sales roles. Go sell Subarus instead. >Management at the highest level is manipulative of the customer. Will gladly sell you something knowing that the next model up is about to be discounted to the same price in 5 days time. >The bad eggs stay (in management) and the good eggs leave.

Pros

- Great work ethic - Encouraged to educate not sell - Vision at the top is incredible

Cons

- Management are all EX car dealers, severe lack of industry knowledge for EVs - Lack of progression - Since opening the service centre near the airport communications between the two has been nothing short of shocking - Salary varies in the exact same job role can lead to tensions around pay - Personal experience - company could not work out who had leaked information and ended up blaming a work colleague resulting in his dismissal. Bit of a shame because the lad was young and made the mistake of being honest whilst other staff members kept quiet. Inevitably he paid the price despite coming forward. Made me question my value at the company seeing how poorly HR handled the matter. Very glad I left not long after!
