      nice company to work with, great benefits and would recommend anyone to get in tho this world of automotive industry.

      Cons

      sometimes I felt that I was not given direction, guidance and the resources to perform the duties of the roleLEarnt by myself and however, the only manager at the time of leaving the company was the only negative thing I can point out.

      Advice to Management

      don't trust the manager / supervisors depending on their length of work in the company. Measurements needs to be implemented to keep a track of staff leaving due to certain managers and why.I have rated soles on the manager

      The work pace is sometimes a bit to slow and laid back, but perhaps this is just Australian culture.
