Pros

Selling Ford, this product is in high demand, so volume is good. Pay is good when targets are met.

Cons

It was good under its former ownership: Gowrings, but this American company took it over and pretty much ruined it, with focus on numbers and statistics rather than employee health and contentment in the workplace. You're just a number here. Things got tougher, but the reward never improved. Fines were imposed for paperwork inaccuracies. Fuel card taken away. Demos restricted. No longer a nice place to work.

Pros

They offer employee stock benefits.

Cons

The workplace culture has deteriorated significantly over the past few years. What was once an organization employees were proud to be part of has become an environment where morale is consistently low and many employees feel disengaged and dissatisfied. The changes in leadership and culture have had a noticeable negative impact on the overall employee experience. Based on my experience, I would encourage prospective employees to avoid at all cost.
