Awesome workplace with some amazing people! Love working there, great environment and everyone is so lovely there just isn't much work to do so end up getting a bit bored.

Culture matches the quality of the vehicles - appalling!

General Manager Group Services (Former Employee) - Chullora and Zetland - 3 August 2022

More than 40 vacancies in the organisation is about as clear a signal as you need, to know that the culture in this organisation is toxic and flows directly from the CEO downwards. Forget the shiny badge attached to these brands - avoid working there.

Pros

Access to company cars

Great place to work at although at times it seems it's all about meetings constantly,team either makes you or breaks you,but if you have been in the industry long enough you'll quickly work out whats going on.

Volkswagen

Diagnostic Technician (Former Employee) - Brighton VIC - 15 April 2020

Not a very fair workplace, no team work, no communication and management always came up with excuses to not raise techs pay. Makes you work a full day of Christmas eve when theres no work.

Pros

Good techs

Cons

Management

Great experience

School based trainee ship (Former Employee) - Taringa QLD - 27 November 2019

This multi cultured work force was indeed a force to be reckoned with, they are really good at staying at the top of their game while keeping a good relationship between their boss and fellow work mates

Most enjoyable moments at Volkswagen group Australia

OEM Factory Trainer (Current Employee) - Chullora NSW - 8 November 2019

Having many years of factory training being able to work for the factory and impart what I’ve learn was an amazing experience. Working along side some of my mentors was definitely a bonus and made an amazing group of friends I’ll never lose

Forward thinking and positive workplace

Executive Assistant (Former Employee) - Chullora NSW - 11 September 2019

I loved working at Volkswagen Group Australia. Great programs offered to progress within the business, work/life balance was good, culture is awesome, brand love was strong and was one of the most memorable things about working here. Management are progressive and listen to feedback. The only con was the financial services department but that is lead by different management.

Professional, Family orientated dealership

Moved back to car sales (Former Employee) - Victoria - 7 May 2019

VW was a fantastic brand to work for - Unfortunately my time was cut short with them due to me wanting to move to a different state. Its a very family orientated dealership that understands the work life balance needed with employment.

Pros

Family Orientated

Cons

Long hours

You're basically a nobody unless youre a manager.

Employee (Former Employee) - Epping VIC - 7 November 2018

Terrible treatment of staff by upper management. Massively disorganised. If you are anything below a manager you are treated like a nobody. If you're a casual or part-time worker you are treated like you don't have any sort of education. You will be chewed up and spat our no matter how hard you work, your ties there, or your quality of work. Work load expectations are unreasonably high. They will not hesitate to get rid of you if it saves them money, even if it sacrifices quality of product or service. Would definitely not recommend.

Pros

Nice cars

Cons

Horrible management and disorganization

Good showroom hard working culture

Sales Executive (Full time) (Former Employee) - Edinburgh - 28 June 2017

My first sales job gave me a great base in the motor industry. Here I was trained through VW Uk and built up a loyal client base in Edinburgh. The culture in the showroom was that of a driven hard working team.

Productive workplace with people you can get along with.

Pre-apprenticeship Mechanic/Technician (Former Employee) - Perth WA - 31 January 2017

Almost always busy at VW which provided a good learning experience with a range of different light vehicles. The culture varies a lot here with people coming from all over the world but still everyone gets along. There isn't really anything hard about working here but if there was people could lend you a hand easily.

Pros

Work Crew

Cons

Occasional slow days
