Pros

- Coffee runs - Working with cool cars and watches - Merch - Can buy with 0 buyers fee (assuming you can afford the car in the first place..)

Cons

- Owner is a full-blown narcissist. Can tell he's never been told no in his life. - Most of the staff are 'daddys money' types, and they are very cold unless you fit their clique. Staff who dont are often looked down on. - Hostile atmosphere as everybody talks about eachother behind their backs, owner is exceptionally guilty of this, it's borderline bullying at times. - No faith in workforce. V low tolerance around flexible working for fear of 'not working hard enough'. If you are off sick it will be a black mark against your name. - No progression and very unwilling to help with building skills. - Long working hours for the money and 0 flexibility. 8am-6pm (often later) on 25k.

Pros

I'm a sucker for the product itself. Love cars. So working with them and marketing a product connected to them was always something of a dream. The company has grown quickly, and with that comes a few pains. That's to be expected. But what's good is they owned them, fixed them and showed good loyalty to those who reflected it back. I had good progression in my time, had a lot of good projects to get my teeth into. Some of the negative reviews are within the sales team, and sales being sales within a principally male interest category, it got a bit alpha. But it never affected me in my role. However I am aware it was addressed and changes put in place to improve both environment and onboarding. There's a lot of interest in scaling, but with that comes the demand of balancing resource and budgets with prioritising where they're going to invest. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I'd say I've had good experience of winning in those instances. There's also some really good people here, which makes work less of a chore. You actually enjoy what you do because of who you're doing it with.

Cons

Often have a lot of things needing delivery at once, and prioritising can be a challenge. Would have been great to get some extra resource support - agency, contractors, etc for projects. The benefits plan could do with a revisit, and adding in things like a bonus structure, dental, life assurance, etc.

Pros

Working next to the White Horse pub

Cons

Laughable at how bad this company is. Sealed Bids are a joke.
