Arnold Clark Employer Reviews

It was good fun working with the team i learned a lot of stuff while i was there and how to change alot of stuff on a car and what some of the tools do, One of the hardst parts of the job was removing a gear box, but overall the whole experice was really good.

Job security is good but there is no room for advancement. Anti-social hours.

If it wasnt for the guys i work with i wouldnt have lasted longer than a month, I work minimum of 60 hours a week over 6 days 1 day off each week i am on a salary and when broken down is well under minimum wage you are expected to work your day off and not take all your holidays for the year i do not mind working the extra hours i like the idea of working – more... for somthing if i put in the hours i expect a decent wage at the end on the plus side i work with a good bunch of guys which realy helps when your in a small branch 60 hours a week. – less

Worked for this company for 12 years right from leaving school.
Worked hard and climbed the ladder so to speak until they decided out of the blue to strip me of all my achievements and dump me onto another branch.When I contested this I was basically told where the door was.
I Hate this company and would never ever recommend anyone work for this evil – more... empire.
Staff are trained from the start to rip off customers as efficiently as possible,and once they have you're money they couldn't care less about you or you're vehicle.

Avoid at all costs and don't make the same mistakes I did,especially with the amount of time I put in. – less

long hours but the chance to earn great money with great friend in a great enviroment to work

Working for Arnold Clark gave my the skills i needed from the ground up, The only problem i could fault the branch for was it's location and manager.

I enjoy working on my own and as part of a team/ meeting targets & the challenge of sales.

Arnold Clark East Dock Street was the worst place I have worked in my life. Bullying, discrimination, and harassment were a daily ritual for the sales and general mangers towards the staff.

Arnold Clark typical day always plenty of work to get through.I had a good working relaitionship with workmates and office staff.

typical day at work would be working form 8 till 5.30 and if the work was over flowing we would work on. Having worked their for 4 years i have gained a level 3 SVQ in mechanics and met fun, enthusiastic people. hardest part of the job was the pressure and stress the workshop department got when more then two waiting customers come into the branch with – more... their cars. The best part of the day was going home knowing you've done your job well. – less

A good place to work with good colleagues, good atmosphere and good management. I enjoyed working as part of a team and thrived on new challenges.

was employed as a driver/valeter but be warned there is no valeting involved,well not what i call valeting anyway!. was supposed to be employed at a dealership 5 miles from home but informed was not ready yet as was still been built so made to travel 330 miles a week to another dealership with no travelling expenses and on minimum wage! was told that – more... cars only get a quick wash and hoover then hired back out again which to my disapointment was not the job described to me at interview as i had come from a bmw dealership where cars are valeted proffessionally the valeting staff are all ageing pensioners with not one of them below 50yrs of age and more to the point have no experience in the motor trade as was clearly visable where i witnessed on several occasions them stripping laquer off cars with the jet wash and using an empty barrel with dirty water and stones in it to sponge cars off. i only lasted 4 days as i take pride in my work and could not afford the 330 mile hike to work. all in all it was a complete disaster working for this company which is a shame because i have 15yrs experience in motor trade and anyone that knows me knows iam very good at my job but also take pride in the company i work for. i would advise anyone thinking about taking a job with this company to read my review and treat it as a blessing in disguise as it was that bad i left with no job to go to and am currently still out of work which is the first time in my life but i still believe i made the right decision. – less

Very hard work, if willing to work ? Career progression is unlimited.

The first dy was a little nervous and and the week went on it became more better an I got to meet new people

Selling cars and consistently achieving targeting delivering excellent customer service.

Managers always take their stress out on the sales team.

Hours are long and when divided by the hours ure getting paid peanuts.

Managers threatening you that they can shout at you but you can't defend yourself. If you do "your feet won't touch the ground"

No room for human error. Make a mistake and its costing you.

Worked for them a Long time. And – more... enough is enough, can't be bothered when you've got a manger trying to get a reaction!

Come the day im handing my notice in.And it's gonna be worth my job and burning the bridge because I'm gonna get so much enjoyment knowing my managers will be eating soup for a few months!

Should have learnt the last time I left they were a bunch of clowns. Wannabes.

Take advice and stay away. There robbing managers and total con artists. You never get good deals and there is huge margins to play with.

Stay away people stay away – less
