Vantaggi

None, their brands are what drew me to them but this company and it's appalling directors is the reason they have one of the highest stuff turnovers in the country. My journey to joining them was full of red flags I chose to ignore and silly me for doing so. Not only does this company not have any standards of professionalism, they do not reward their employees who have been loyal to them for years. Watch how they treat their staff and handle situations day in and day out was one of the most shocking experiences in my life. Their directors, mainly, Jamie Vindis and Jack Lankaster-Bell are two of the most disgraceful managers/directors I have ever worked for. They accept not responsibility for their shortcomings and push all the blame onto Managers who have worked with Vindis for decades. Their failures, mainly JLB's can be seen the amount of dealerships they have opened in closed since being in their positions. (For those wondering, they close more dealers than they open) Myself being one of 4 former employees who are either taking or have taken legal action against Vindis in the 2 years I worked there. I would strongly advise seeking a career elsewhere because time invested in Vindis will only result in disappointment and frustration you can live without.

Svantaggi

Too many to list. Working at Vindis you can expect to be underappreciated, bullied, mistreated, subject to verbal abuse, unfair treatment, harassment, discrimination and much more. When you evidence everything and put it forward to HR against one of their directors, they will make excuses to terminate your contract in order to try and protect their disgraceful way of business. Former employees taking legal action against Vindis is a normality if you look into it. Jamie Vindis, the glorified heir to a business he had no part in building but is doing a rather excellent job at destroying only cares about personal achievements and titles to help hide the fact the Vindis Group is a disgrace. Bribery and holding meetings at golf courses with all senior management to drill the message that their sites need to score and grade Vindis Group gracefully or else the managers will be held accountable for the poor scores the Company gets from its employees. I struggle to find one good thing about having worked at Vindis for 2 years and I am usually someone who can find the positive twist in a negative situation. For your mental health, I would suggest avoiding this company at all costs. You can and deserve better from an employer.

Vantaggi

Leniant in terms of family affairs, personal issues etc, work load isn’t too bad

Svantaggi

Hardly any benefits, no incentives to work, quarterly bonus is now essentially impossible to achieve and is no longer based on an individuals performance, no corporate events, hardly any discounts towards compulsory items such as boots, management changes all the time, management full of false promises, processes change constantly, management do not engage with employees, feedback feels as if it’s ignored, and no urgent steps to take care of the technicians, workshop is outdated, tech is outdated, no signal in the area + no staff WiFi allowed, only 30 minutes lunch, technician productivity spreadsheet is inconsistent and incorrect causing people to lose out on monthly bonus, organisation is poor between workshop controller and after sales manager causing confusion, toxic environment in terms of colleagues, having a private life is impossible as you get pestered all the time, even if you post anything on social media, organisation is awful in terms of jobs being given last minute causing technicians to work over their contracted hours while not being paid to do so, being forced to do work that isn’t up to your skill level then getting frustrated when you tell them the work won’t be done in time or that something was broken during the job, we run out of work constantly most months, sometimes getting as little as 13 jobs in one day causing to finish at 10AM-3PM, however they took the ability to use a half day of holiday if the work is slow so you stand around doing nothing.
