Pros
I worked at VWG UK for nearly 5 years. Most people I came across were friendly, helpful and competent. Overall my experience of the company was a positive one. Good benefits.
Cons
There are some pockets of management that do not follow company values and frankly, should not be there. Beware of the occasional snake.
Advice to Management
Find dissenters and remove them to retain the best people.

Pros
Fantastic car scheme, excellent professionals.
Cons
Unfortunately they have a big problem with blame culture, people spend a lot of time trying to cover themselves instead of collaborate or work . The company is slightly behind compared to other large corporations, no working from home or flexibility culture. It’s up to the managers to decide how their team work. Some perceive that as too modern.
Advice to Management
Let’s move to the 21st century, listen to the employees’ feedback. I think you are trying but there is much more to do.
