Thanks for sharing your review, we really appreciate you taking the time. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the people and the office environment while you were with us! We know the role of a Customer Renewal Advisor can be full-on at times, especially in a demand-led business like ours. We’re always looking at ways to support our teams and make workloads more manageable, so feedback like this is really valuable. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, and thanks again for being part of RAC.

Pros

It's a job, Company van, start and finish at home. No commute. Tools provided.

Cons

This job used to be great, encouraged to fix everything possible at the roadside.... now its sell,sell, sell. As a time served technician my job has been reduced to that of a sales assistant. Arrive, diagnose and book someone else to come and fix it another day and don't forget to sell a service as well. I speak for 100's of patrols who feel Rac have lost sight of the core business and are focused on the SMR devison. The patrols are now mere sales agents for this service. Currently having sales targets forced down our throats even though there are zero targets in contract. Failure to secure bookings for services results in "improvement plans" and managers shadowing you all day. Patrol moral is very low. Forced into selling overpriced services and repairs rather than fixing it there and then. Pay is poor for the current market and dangerous nature of the job and unsociable hours. The lower graded SMR "technicians" are on a higher salary and better work hours than patrols now.

Thanks for sharing this review; it’s clear the patrol who wrote it cares deeply about the job and the direction of the business, and we really appreciate that. We’re genuinely sorry to hear how things are feeling for you right now. We know the role has evolved, and we understand that changes can be tough. We’re actively reviewing how we support patrols and how we balance commercial goals with the core roadside service that’s always been at the heart of RAC. Your voice — and the voices of your colleagues — matter, and we’ll make sure this feedback is heard. Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience.

Thanks for the review and for being part of the team! We’re really glad you found the atmosphere positive — that’s something we work hard to maintain across all our teams. We know the pace can pick up quickly due to being a demand-led business and we appreciate everything our colleagues do to keep things running smoothly. Wishing you all the best in your next chapter, and thanks again for sharing your experience!
