Pros

Very poor company to work for

Cons

Been there 3 years and still basic sales neg, No promotions received all talk but nothing happens. Commission is useless as need to hit threshold to receive any. Pretty much work 6 days a week every week then get complained at when request time off without getting paid any extra. Paid peanuts for mileage and wear and tear on your own vehicle. In 3 years of working at the company I have seen the whole region of staff change twice! Staff turnover is very high. Can't access any policy handbooks while on mat leave so dont know your rights.

Pros

The staff in the branch

Cons

I found the working environment extremely pressurised, with unrealistic and constantly increasing targets that often felt impossible to achieve. While I understand sales roles naturally involve targets, in my experience expectations continually changed and there was very little support from management. Much of the feedback we received focused on what wasn’t being done well enough, rather than encouragement or recognition for the hard work being put in. Employees were not made to feel valued, and promises around progression and promotion did not reflect the reality of the role. The overall culture had a negative impact on morale and work-life balance. Others may have had a different experience, but unfortunately mine was not a positive one.
