Pros

Some quality people that were eventualy forced out of the door due to the massive hiring of poor professionals Isolated teams with a proper culture due to local management rather than a global strategy

Cons

The company is heavily missing leadership, strategy and a proper C-level team. The existing team is not based on professional competency but rather on other politically criterias There is no culture at all so everyone could/might create an island but there is not top down strategy or any HR policies (or department) They keep making the same growth mistakes and there is literally no strategy, KPIs, accountability for staff's performance They do continuous damage control and unbale to grow, to have a vision and business targets People are massively leaving and the ones remaining are of a questionable quality

Pros

* Friendly and supportive working environment with a great team culture. * Fantastic colleagues who made coming to work enjoyable every day. * Strong leadership and management support from my Team Leader and Manager. * Good earning potential and opportunities to develop sales skills. * The sales process was generally straightforward and easy to learn. * Rewarding role helping customers find vehicles that suited their needs and circumstances. * Fast-paced environment that helped build confidence, communication, and negotiation skills.

Cons

* After being relocated to the Central London branch, the role became heavily phone-based, which reduced the face-to-face interaction with customers. * Building trust and rapport with customers over the phone was more challenging than meeting them in person. * Customers I had nurtured and booked into the Cricklewood showroom were often handed over to another salesperson, which could sometimes disrupt the relationship and trust that had already been established. * Vehicle aftercare and customer service processes could be improved, particularly when dealing with post-sale issues. * Customer cancellations could be frustrating after investing significant time into building relationships and securing appointments.
