Pluspunten

The broader team and colleagues were collaborative, supportive, and overall great to work with, creating a positive atmosphere within individual teams.

Minpunten

The senior leadership lacked a clear strategy, which created challenges in aligning goals and achieving progress. At the time, many systems and processes were heavily manual, which hindered efficiency. Some senior managers demonstrated inappropriate workplace behavior, including making misogynistic comments, which was unacceptable and unaddressed. Additionally, there were no thorough or standardized processes for critical functions such as vehicle-related purchasing, leading to inefficiencies. Attempts to implement necessary changes were consistently met with resistance, particularly from long-standing employees who were highly reluctant to embrace new approaches. Was a very inflexible culture.

Pluspunten

Pays the bills, Good BDM team.

Minpunten

Where to start….. Useless management. New business Team (order takers) get all the praise whilst the Account Managers do all the work. Commission structure is always tailored to New business. Paid in arrears and is always wrong, lucky if you do manage to sort it. Senior management are a waste of time, take it or leave it. Lost load of good people because of this attitude. No career progression, ones that do get promoted into seniors end up redundant. This seems to be a trend same thing every few years.
