Pros

professional and supportive colleagues. a good manager towards the end of my time there but before that, we didn't even have one.

Cons

an evil boss who still thinks slavery is legal. My employer was the most corrupt, evil, morally void person I've met. Stealing from staffs wages, making staff work illegal hours (literally 24 hours on the run for one of my colleagues) failing to pay holiday pay and sick pay when I was ill with covid, failing to pay minimum wage, and the icing on the cake, threatening staff if they leave, he said he would send a "representative" around to my house because I said I would contact the police as he was refusing to pay my final wages. it is extremely unlikely that other shell garages will be like this but I do not know how this guy has been getting away with this for years.
