Pros

workshop employees and admin are all brilliant, no weekend work.

Cons

refusal to hear any concerns including weight and weight distribution along with other things and not a single piece of equipment has any weight on them, and that is not taken in to consideration when out on the road. Revenue is paramount, overtime is forced even on a friday night. no tacho = no breaks, expect to handballs almost a tonne on a single job once perweek. No route planner or transport team, just an admin left to run the entire scene with a manager overlooking,

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
