Anyone who is seeking a job in the motor industry will always ask the question, ‘Why should I work for ……?’   And most employers will talk about good working practices, the benefits, the perks – WIFY (What’s In it For You). At Pentagon, we think differently – which sets us apart from other motor retailers. We know that changing jobs is an emotional decision as well as a practical one.  We wanted to understand why people came to work for Pentagon and so we decided to ask some new recruits at a recent Induction Course their reasons for joining us.

Managing Director Trevor Reeve welcomes employees on the Business Managers course.

‘I used to work in the NHS and wanted to work for a business that had a family ethos as opposed to a huge, faceless, organisation,’ said a recently appointed Business Manager at our Burton dealership. An employee from the Parts Department in Oldham said that a distant relation told him about the vacancy. A Technician from Rochdale said, ‘Pentagon was recommended to me by a friend who works there,’ and another six people on the same course said the same thing.

Our purpose built training centre in Barnsley.

We all trust recommendations, particularly from good friends and especially from family but if you haven’t any friends or family working for Pentagon, then we can share with you some of the other reasons why you should work for us.

The Pentagon Group is committed to ensuring a safe and congenial working environment for all of their employees, and is equally dedicated to investing in people’s personal development and career potential.

We have a dedicated in-house training team and, with the manufacturer’s support (through Colleges like the GM Academy) we can offer training courses and qualifications for every job function within our dealerships.

We care about our employees just as much as we care about our customers and we believe that this is clearly illustrated by the large number of our employees who recommend us to their friends and families.

Everyone at Pentagon subscribes to the company’s five core values:

• Exceeding customer expectations
• Teamwork
• Right first time attitudes
• Trust and respect
• Continuous Improvement
