Pros

Great Team feeling with everyone in most areas more than willing to support and help. Never feel that I have no one to turn to as management at all levels willing to provide with guidance. Hard work is recognised and shouted out with reward

Cons

None that I can think off

Pros

working directly with customer, manage your own day, van with tools, team phone calls for advice etc.

Cons

forget about holidays, also the Unite the Union can't do anything for you. the lack of staff shall rest on the remaining of the staff so the cycle goes on and on and on.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you enjoy the independence of the role, the support available from colleagues and the opportunity to help members directly. However, we're sorry to read about your concerns regarding holiday availability and resourcing. We understand how important it is for colleagues to be able to take time off and maintain a healthy work-life balance. As you're a current employee, we'd strongly encourage you to raise these concerns with the People Team if you haven't already done so. We want to understand the specifics of your situation and work with you to address any issues as quickly as possible. We genuinely value feedback from our colleagues, and we're committed to ensuring everyone feels supported, listened to and treated fairly.

Pros

Fast paced with the opportunity to learn how motor breakdown works.

Cons

A very poor onboarding process, that requires to learn a very outdated and clunky system in a very short time, then pressurize you with live calls well before you are bedded down with their system. It takes away the true potential of its employees and penalties then for genuine mistakes due to pressures that are unforgiving. On top of all that you then need to handle a plethora of live calls on a daily basis with little breaks, and worse of all on a very low wage. I also heard the bonuses are unrealistic based on crazy kpis

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and for the contribution you made during your time with the RAC. It’s good to hear you found the role a fast-paced way to learn about how motor breakdown support works. We know that can be a steep learning curve, especially early on. We’re sorry to hear that your onboarding experience didn’t meet expectations. It’s an area we’ve recognised needs improvement, and we’re currently in the middle of upgrading the onboarding journey to make it much more structured, supportive and easier to navigate. That includes improving how we introduce systems, giving people more time to build confidence before moving into live environments, and making sure support is there at the right moments. You’ve also raised some important points around pressure, KPIs and pay. We want colleagues to feel set up to succeed, not overwhelmed, and feedback like this helps us keep reviewing how we support people day to day, as well as how we recognise performance in a fair and achievable way. Thanks again for your honest feedback. It plays a really important role in shaping the improvements we’re making.
