Pros

Great teamworking ethos and culture Plenty of challenges / space for new ideas and solutions Broad business with scope to move internally

Cons

The business can at times be very reactive (due to nature of breakdown work) and workload can change suddenly. Below inflation / minimal pay rise for several years

Pros

You'll probably learn a lot very quickly given how rapidly things seem to change and how few people seem to be doing multiple roles. This does, oddly, lead to quite a lot of autonomy within a role as others seem too busy. You'll be exposed to a lot of information and will pick up a good level of high level technical understanding - whether intentional or not - so from that perspective there's a lot of info to be collected to add to your armoury.

Cons

If you adore working within a Short-Termism environment then go for it. Plans are made, enacted with urgency....then ditched within days. A lack of recognition of self-obtained professional qualifications. In fact, in my experience, there's a dislike of putting people forward for any professional qualifications - or even allowing time for employees to undergo such courses themselves. A complete reticence to commit to modern working practices is a real bugbear. The pandemic offered so much chance to move from the typical Micro-management environment of UK industry but, sadly, RAC just doesn't seem willing to fully commit or explore new or inventive practices.

Pros

Great people. Interesting and varied work. Opportunity to learn new things and progress. Regular briefings from the CEO giving company updates and an opportunity to ask questions or make suggestions / give opinions. Hybrid working for some roles. Car parking.

Cons

Faced paced which can be invigorating!
