Pros

Fantastic work-life balance, great people, great benefits, great location, respectful salaries. Very relaxed flexi scheme for employees, generous holiday allowance, free hot drinks, massive subsidised canteen for hot/cold food all throughout the day, free shuttlebus picking up and dropping off at places throughout the area.

Cons

We don't get paid to take sick days, but to be honest, I've found this policy more than fair, given that (within reason), you can take short-notice holiday/flexi days for emergencies and/or work from home within reasonable notice. The management are really understanding about it!

Hi! Lynne here. What a wonderful review of your time working for us. It’s great to hear things are going so well! You mention many positives in your review. It’s lovely to hear you talking about the benefits in working for Arnold Clark, many of our staff take advantage of these offers. The only negative you mention is sick pay, but as you say there are lots of options for flexibility. Thank you again for this review and we look forward to many more happy years working together! Lynne McBurney, Arnold Clark – Group Head of People

Hi, Lynne here. Thanks very much for this great review! I’m delighted that you’re enjoying your current role – especially that you’ve mentioned the work culture, work-life balance, team dynamics and manager support as positives. We aim to provide our employees with all the tools, resources and support they need to thrive in their role – and all of these factors are important in achieving this. It makes a real difference when you have a good team around you, and we strive to create a supportive and nurturing environment for all employees. We also encourage progression and career development – through our online training courses, in-person training at our state-of-the-art GTG facilities, s, and by regularly promoting from within. If you want to discuss your own career progression further, I would encourage you to speak with your line manager or even the People Team. We offer impartial advice and support in the strictest of confidence. Thanks for your feedback! Lynne McBurney, Group People Director
