Vantaggi
Actual people at the locations I worked at over 3 years were great. Only reason I stayed at the Pedder Group was because of the co-worker morale against upper-management decisions. Gets two stars because it is an easy auto group to get a job at to start your Automotive career.
Svantaggi
Upper management is horrible and pulls constant knee-jerk decisions. Will hire and fire tens of people across the course of three weeks to make the reports look better without any thought for the repercussions that will ensue. Company prioritizes seniority over competence, picking and choosing other people for management positions they are not fit for purely because they either A) know somebody at the top, or B) have a history or relationship with the company or anyone in it, sometimes good or bad. Money is grossly mis-managed, spending far too much on random idea projects that may get business without taking in any employee feedback on how it may or may not help the company in a long run. In my time there, I saw employees of almost every position told to do work outside of their job description just to "get it done fast" instead of doing it right. Employees have been docked pay without explanation, made to work overtime without clocking it on the time punch because overtime is "against policy," told to dis-regard safety concerns due to higher cost, and have been instructed to change parts of their personal lives off the clock because it can come back and reflect back on the dealership poorly. I have never worked in a place with as much negative workplace drama as Pedder Auto Group, it is constant and seems to have always been that way.
