Thank you for your feedback - we really appreciate it. We try to make everyone’s time with us rewarding and it’s disappointing when we don’t make that happen. This year has been challenging due to the COVID pandemic and the uncertainty on a global basis. Our company was not immune and we were forced to make a number of very difficult decisions to preserve the business and retain as many jobs as possible. However, with a sad heart, we were forced under the circumstances to reduce a number of roles and reduce the working hours of others. Though-out the period, we tried to provide regular communications through company-wide emails, global and local all hands meetings, and receiving feedback through our Peakon surveys- however it is clear from your comments that we need to do more and we will look into what that means for us. Moving into the post-pandemic period over the coming months, we're excited to resume our full Reward and Recognition program that was introduced in 2019. Please keep an eye out for this in our internal company comms. Finally, thanks for flagging a few positives! We’re glad that you are enjoying working with the team, we're incredibly proud of the amazing, talented and fun people that have been and are fundamentally to the company's success to date.

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.
