Solid Business with great potential
Pros
Element treated me very well and gave me a lot of opportunity to move up and move around. Compensation seems fair for industry. Beautiful company car on annual basis in certain positions is certainly a nice perk. Industry events such as Canadian Int’l Car Show and OEM Ride & Drives allow employees to drive some beautiful cars that would be other inaccessible to them. If you enjoy learning about vehicles and have a passion for simplifying an otherwise extremely complex operation for customers, Element can offer that satisfaction.
Cons
Many people complain where complaints seem rarely justified. This doesn’t allow for a very positive culture at times but this can be fixed with more open communication from leadership and more face time I think. Sales people seem to be the only employees now benefitting from the “perks of the fleet industry” such as demo vehicles and industry event invites. If you can extend these perks to other departments where possible, I’m sure it would be a very positive experience for most employees. (And probably reduce the typical operations vs commercial “battles” in some way)
