BMW

Bmw are a great brand to work for.

Unacceptable targets, and expected to work days off , finish late, forego lunch breaks for nothing, just to hit efficiency target to get a sniff of bonus.

Fact I get to do my hobby for a job, workshop banter is great and we all have a laugh

Hard work leaves me very tired at the end of the day

Meeting people and working with some of my colleagues

Facing complaints that are not justified and not being able to speak my mind to those complaint customers.

People I work with

No communication and no management

People and cars

Travel and customers

The poor hours,heavy work load, pushed to upsell

The pay can be very rewarding if you put in the effort.

The stress that goes with wearing yourself out, the importance of high levels of concentration for long periods of time can also be mentally draining. People that can’t cope with either normally don’t make it in this business.

Seeing people

Lack of information and not having a say in when we can have our holidays

The workshop is clean and tidy. And it’s warm. I like the brand. Good annual leave.

It’s all commission based with a Low basic salary. The commission is not completely in your hands to earn it because it’s all dependant on what work you are given and if nothing goes wrong. Not knowing if your going to make enough money to live each month. Not having any lunch breaks and working late to try and hit your target. Working saturdays for free. And no paid over time. Management that look down on you and don’t care what you have to say. Equipment that doesn’t work and makes your job harder to do. Having to pay to park at work. Being on your feet all day long.

Working on nice cars

Working on nice cars 🤣

Monotonous work, Management style (bullying, lying and incompetence) ineffective Union.

Working with people, earning money to live.

Old boys club, senior managers are biased towards their friends

The People.
The legend that is a MINI.

Poor management.
