Terrible. Avoid.

Pros

I'm not being melodramatic when I say I've got nothing positive to say other than perhaps it was nice being surrounded by nice cars!

Cons

Awful, rude management. Nasty backstabbing colleagues. No career progression or training. Poor pay and long hours. Some massive egos here who don't know how to deal with feedback.

Pros

Working selling a premium brand make of car ( BMW )

Cons

Was sold a dream of working for a reputable company selling a decent brand. Before I started I received welcome gifts & lots of training booked, so I was really looking forward to starting. Your first day is actually at the Pendragon learning centre so you get an induction, although this is just about the general company and nothing that helps you back at the dealership. My second day in the job was then at the dealership, FARCICAL !!! No introduction! Left to find my own desk, no walk around the business ( which employs at this site around 120+ people ). A week into the job I was having to set up my own passwords/ systems and bring in my own stationary etc.... I left after a week and resigned. The person the collected my company car- supposedly representing Stratstone was extremely rude and drove off using his phone and not wearing a seatbelt!!!!! I would strongly AVOID this particular dealership. Also hours - you have to get there for 7:45 to be able to park, as the site is too busy and most night you leave at 7-8pm.

Pros

I have spent 2 years 6 months there and the staff turn over is embarrassing. However after much hanging on waiting for things to get better as I don't believe in job hopping, we get the right guys to do a good job and we did 104 cars in a month then in Stratstones wisdom they change the pay structure... it would mean I am down by some £8k per year! Not on!

Cons

Staff turn over, site too small for the nubers that they want.
