Relentless

Indeed featured review

The most useful review selected by Indeed
If you have the right support you'll enjoy working at AML. It's never ending work, and you'll need to be fit to keep up. If your manager is poor, so will your prospects be.You won't be able to move, unless can demonstrate a good business case.

Pros

Excellent canteen, some great people.

Cons

Do what I say.

A great place to work, I'd highly recommend it.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time working at Aston Martin. Ther's a strong culture of team work and it's a place that really focuses on delivering for the customer.Working conditions are good both in the offices and on the production line. Senior Management Team is dedicated to delivering outstanding product quality. Being a small automotive player you'll have the opportunity to get involved in all sorts of projects, sometimes outside of your core role which keeps the job intersting.

No Good HR policies

HR dont have any control over people management activities. No checking of the employee in terms of his or her career development. No policy for internal job change if some person is doing one job for many year. He or she has to find own way to look for internal job change which is obviously political in nature.

Pros

Real Product development experience, High Efficient people

Cons

HR policies are name sake when it comes to employee development.

Very productive. No fun

Constantly pushing for more work to be done. Right first time. Don't expect to be thanked. The work force are great, never had a falling out with anyone other than the management.

Pros

Uniform

Cons

Crazy work pattern

Fast paced & stressful work, but great people

Aston Martin is a long standing company which still behaves in many ways like a start up, everyone has more work than it is possible to complete in the targeted time, but due to everyone being in the same boat, it leaves a level of comraderie. The work itself is fulfill and exciting, and the accessibility to talk to senior management has improved dramatically over the last 2 years.Unfortunately, Astons internal HR policies do mean that salary growth is limited for those that stay for years of internal progression.The benefits are relatively good, 12% company contribution for salary after 2 years, mercedes scheme from grade 8, and managers get PSA management vehicles, health shield plan gives cash back on dental and opticians, health insurance & death in service package too.

Pros

Great people, interesting work, opportunity for progression in certain departments, great benefits

Cons

Huge workload, un competitive pay for internal progression Vs unknown external hires

Total chaos and staff turnover embarrasing

Dont bother avoid the place DHL are the main problems select few get jobs back stabbing others to management gets you considered the worst experience ive ever had at a work place imature kids in charge clueless no management experience and agency staff are far better than the DHL dim wits the place needs a total revamp from top to bottom get rid of the wasters back stabbers and bring in experience.

Pros

Going home from the place

Cons

Starting on a Monday after weekend off

I enjoyed working with the people on the shop floor.

It was a great experience working for Aston Martin. But the management in st Athens struggled to listen to any advice or suggestions to improve productivity.

Pros

Great work force.

Cons

Some poor management decisions.

Skills mean nothing

Spent a total of 10 years here over 2 occasions was made unfairly redundant twice. Management tend to prefer unskilled women. Second time took me 3 years as temp then given a contract 90% pay for the first year and instead of making it 100% pay my contact was ended and my original final salary pension changed leaving many temporary workers still there.

Pros

Above average wage

Cons

Forced weekday overtime

Great pay regret leaving for another job

Great pay though the week rotating shifts of mornings afternoons and evenings can take it out of you. Been toying with calling to see if any work going now after covid. Would like to go back.

Pros

On site canteen and great pay

Cons

Long hours and rolling temp roll

Pros

Relaxed work atmosphere and respectful

Cons

Absolutely non
Was this review helpful?

Really not a great place to work.

Non stop relentless work on the production line. No thanks or praise for anything you do. There’s no sense of support from the company at all. Very much an US and THEM mentality. Very few people are happy working here.

Pros

Salary is good, clean workplace.

Cons

Long hours, poor work morale.

Low morale and no thanks

They pressure you to work overtime, only to increase the target the following week. No thanks and no morale in the place, they work you to the bone and are dripping with sweat every day.

Pros

None

Cons

Everything

Could be great

Could be a great place to work . The management from group leaders upwards needs to change the way they work . They lie to each other and cover up problems in order to hit targets making the higher management think that everything is great when in reality the place is a disaster. Too many ‘yes’ men in management too scared of the manager above . The lads and ladies on the shop floor are great though . Too much uncertainty in jobs over the last 18 months with new owners . New owners are trying too many changes at the same time and are being lied to about these changes working . Another 50 or so job roles being made redundant in July .

Pros

Good wage

Cons

Politics, bad management

Good pay and that’s it

Treated like a school child by everyone from group leaders up, no experienced people in any kind of management role especially group leaders, experience counts for nothing at all. Only good thing about working here (st athan) is the pay and honestly that is it. Stay clear if it’s not all about the money for you!!

Pros

Pay

Cons

Everything besides pay

Stressful Environment

You start feeling so happy to be working for this famous automotive company, you are just a resource to get the job done they will fire you and get another at the drop of a hat, you end up being just a number.

Pros

Able to work on and sometimes drive Aston Martin cars

Cons

Management Poor and not interested in developing you

Beautiful cars. Good salary. Nice team.

I am in love with the cars. The sound of the engine is the best music for my ears. I am enjoying every moment working in this plant. The money are good and the team is great.

Pros

Cars, money, team

Cons

Redundancy

Old fashioned business

This business is stuck in the old days. Systems and processes outdated. Management styles are outdated, and quite frankly very poor. There are a few managers who felt like leaders and put in the effort to look after you, the others are very lazy and unproductive in the way that they treat people and play blame games. The business has very good benefits compared to others, however, they act as if this is all they need to do for ‘employee satisfaction’. The work is challenging, in a good way, each day would be different. On the other hand, it was challenging because there was no collaboration between departments and it was very much ‘look after yourself’ culture. To conclude, if it doesn’t matter to you that work is enjoyable, fun and fulfilling, then you’ll do just fine and with a higher salary than most places. However, times are changing and this business isn’t adapting to the fact that people are now searching for a higher meaning at their work.

Pros

Clean and safe. Great benefits

Cons

Poor/outdated management. No interest to make their employees feel empowered
