Thank you so much for this comprehensive review that you have submitted. It is great to hear that you feel we are a supportive workplace and that we foster growth. We always take feedback like this on board to continue to drive forward, and as you have said, be "Excellence in the Motor Industry"
Directors. They are all genuinely nice people. They took time to get to know our names. They ALWAYS let on and have a chat when they visit. Investment in the workshop tooling has been unreal, and investment in people has been constant too. They do what they say they are going to do, and don't take an age to do it either.
Alton Cars have a good vision and their inclusivity is absolutely incredible.
Why Alton Cars? That's why.
Cons
At a site level there's a bit of a clique, if you're in the clique, it's all good. If you aren't... You'll be referred to as a dog's body (true story). There is also alot of "it's not my job or I'll do it later" at this site level. Not a reflection on the company as a whole. Just on this site.
