Pros

No pros this company is horrendous they allow bullying to take place on a large scale.

Cons

Iam sure this review won’t last long as Arnold clark will have it removed. This company is terrible and it’s a matter of time before it all comes out how badly the staff are treated. I worked at the Arnold clark branch in Salford the mechanics have to work in terrible conditions no tools no heating one sink for 15 + mechanics to wash hands . Only master techs get training long hours . The management make it very hard for staff to have days off or take holidays. The work load is massive the whole business is geared up around a few sales people everyone else has to struggle through. High rate of bullying which is allowed to go on. Mechanics leaving wheels loose and mechanics using cars like race cars it’s completely uncontrollable.
