    What’s it like working at Frizelle Sunshine Automotive?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Frizelle Sunshine Automotive stands out for its supportive team environment and strong colleague relationships. The company offers excellent career progression opportunities with the ability to move between branches and departments. Employees appreciate the competitive compensation, particularly in sales roles, and value being part of a large, stable organisation that provides various employment opportunities.

    However, employees note some operational challenges, including a top-heavy management structure that can create disconnection between leadership and staff. There are opportunities to enhance training and onboarding processes, particularly when implementing new systems. Some employees express concerns about workload distribution and staffing levels. Additionally, parking availability is consistently mentioned as a practical challenge, especially at the Southport location.

    A place to turn down if you have never worked in automotive industry because there is no training.
    The good thingsThe technicians were very helpful and were always willing to help.
    The challengesThis was the worst workplace experience I have encountered. The environment was highly unprofessional, driven by a manager who regularly spoke negatively about their 2IC and other staff when they were not present. The use of profanity when referring to colleagues was unacceptable and created a toxic atmosphere. Rather than focusing on work, a significant amount of time was spent gossiping and spreading negativity. The overly pretentious behaviour displayed by management was unlike anything I have previously experienced in a professional setting. There was no structured training or proper onboarding process. Despite this, mistakes were highlighted rather than supported, leaving employees set up to fail. Support was minimal to non-existent. One colleague consistently ignored questions, lacked self awareness, and displayed a negative and dismissive attitude. Ironically, those who had been in the role longer frequently made errors themselves, yet felt comfortable calling out others

    Don’t self harm. Not worth it.
    The good thingsThe people, only the people. And I mean floor staff and technicians.
    The challengesManagement, management and management. There is none. No training, constantly understaffed, overworked and underpaid. You’re expected to do three people’s jobs, punished if you don’t, but don’t have enough hours in the day to do your own job let alone other people’s. They do not treat their staff well at all. Avoid at all costs.
