Sytner Group reviews about "people"

Weird management, terrible work life balance.

Toxic environment One strategy fits all doesn’t work Salary and compensation is absolutely horrible.

No respect from management for people’s skills or tallent

Nothing really comes to mind

• Infrastructure team of only ~6 people supporting a 7,000+ employee company. • On-call burden falls on a single person at a time, often requiring work well outside your remit. • Pay reviews are yearly but increases are negligible (1.5–2%), with salary bands stagnant for 5+ years. • Severe lack of IT investment: critical systems run well past end-of-life with no clear upgrade plans. • High turnover – about half the IT team has left in the last three years through redundancy or attrition. • Lack of ownership and direction at the structural level, leaving remaining staff stretched thin.

No cons to be fair

Lots of redundancies across the company, you never feel fully stable. As more people get let go, more pressure gets put on the other employees, and sometimes everyone is just miserable! Less and less staff nights, christmas parties have stopped, no christmas bonuses, all to cut on money even though the company is profiting more than ever before. The targets and expectations for the workload vary, and sometimes you get micromanaged.

- Management treat people like dirt with verbal abuse behind peoples backs or when they think you can’t hear them, questioning everything you do and seriously demotivating the team. - Withholding invoicing effecting bonus. - Unable to report anything to management about certain managers due to their friendships outside of work. Previous reports have been swept under the rug. - Will hold you back from progressing. - Questionable sexual “jokes” have been said to women / girls by management that are awkwardly laughed off. - Management will sulk when you push back or pull them up on things. - Snotty / Rude emails from management are a common occurrence.
