Pros

Days off are about the only Pro

Cons

This is the first company I have worked for that treat you in such a terrible manner. Team Leader on drugs whilst working and head management seem to have known but ignored it until people stood up for themselves. Your private information gets talking about amongst your team mates and theres only one place it could have came from (Manager or HR) HR ARE TERRIBLE!! and will back stab you at any given point. Terrible pay for work load. Customers speak down to you, I would never ever advise anyone to work here, and I always avoid Certas Garages now because I aint giving them one more penny to my time ever again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, I'm sorry to hear your experience was not a positive one and I am disappointed that you were not made to feel like you matter. I will ensure your feedback is passed on to the relevant management team. Over the last few years we have invested time in ensuring managers have the skills needed for their role, we will continue to do this and look for ways to provide more support where needed.

Pros

The best thing about working for Certas is that they are forever making people redundant, so you likely won't have to endure the management team for very long anyway.

Cons

Poor leadership ruins the role The day-to-day work itself is manageable, but the leadership in the National Stock Management and Operations Support department makes it a toxic place to work. The Manager is a textbook micromanager with zero people skills, making it impossible to work with any autonomy. To make matters worse, the Assistant Manager is a bully who creates a hostile environment. I cannot recommend working under this specific leadership team. The pay is poor and only just about scrapes minimum wage. The low salary is absolutely not worth the stress that comes with the job.

Pros

Good for the CV as the lack of processes and systems means you are doing work that would usually be reserved for those Senior level wages.

Cons

Certas is part of DCC, because DCC is just an investment company, they fundamentally have no idea how to operate a company and lack the internal knowledge to be able to hire technical staff - some really strange hirings of Directors.
