Thanks so much for taking the time to leave this review - it really means a lot. It’s great to hear how supported you feel by the recruitment team. There’s a lot of care that goes into finding the right people for the RAC, so it’s brilliant to see that coming through in your experience day to day. We also appreciate the note about there being “hard to find any cons” – we’ll do our best to keep it that way. And your message to management hasn’t gone unnoticed! Thanks again for sharing, and for everything you’re bringing to the team.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience – especially after more than 10 years with the RAC. That kind of commitment really matters, and we’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met expectations recently. It’s good to see there are some positives around pay, holidays and the van, but it’s clear from your comments that your experience with management hasn’t been where it should be. That’s not something we take lightly. As you’re a current employee, we’d really encourage you to speak with our People Services team if you’d feel more comfortable to do so rather than line management. The more we understand about what’s not working, the better placed we are to support you and make improvements. Thanks again for your feedback – it’s important, and it helps us keep moving in the right direction.

Pros

They pay on time that’s about all

Cons

If you want to be a mechanic and help get people moving. Unfortunately this is the wrong job for you. If you want to be a salesman then this will be the perfect job. You’ll be threatened to loose your contract if you don’t sell the almighty Smr product You’ll be bombarded with calls and emails if you don’t use sale tactics to sell the almighty Smr We have sale targets for the almighty Smr even though we’re not sales.

Thanks for taking the time to share this – especially after more than 10 years with the RAC. That kind of experience really matters, so it’s tough to read how you’re feeling about things right now. We’re glad you’ve called out that pay is reliable, but it’s clear from your comments that something isn’t sitting right when it comes to how patrol and SMR are working together. That’s not the experience we want for our technicians. As you know, SMR is still relatively new and continuing to grow, so there’s a real focus on getting that balance right and making sure it works for everyone. First and foremost, we’re here to help members get the service they need, and to create a workplace you can feel proud to be part of. Your point around being a mechanic, not a salesperson, is heard. As we keep developing how we approach the relationship between patrol and SMR, feedback like this is important in helping us shape things in the right way. As you’re currently with us, we’d really encourage you to speak with your line manager or reach out to People Services if you’d prefer. It gives us the chance to properly understand your experience and see where we can support and improve things for you alongside Operations. Thanks again for being open – it’s genuinely appreciated.
