Sell,sell,sell... or end up on the naughty list. - Patrolman bei RAC: Mitarbeiterbewertung

This job used to be great, encouraged to fix everything possible at the roadside.... now its sell,sell, sell. As a time served technician my job has been reduced to that of a sales assistant. Arrive, diagnose and book someone else to come and fix it another day and don't forget to sell a service as well. I speak for 100's of patrols who feel Rac have lost sight of the core business and are focused on the SMR devison. The patrols are now mere sales agents for this service. Currently having sales targets forced down our throats even though there are zero targets in contract. Failure to secure bookings for services results in "improvement plans" and managers shadowing you all day. Patrol moral is very low. Forced into selling overpriced services and repairs rather than fixing it there and then. Pay is poor for the current market and dangerous nature of the job and unsociable hours. The lower graded SMR "technicians" are on a higher salary and better work hours than patrols now.
