Bentley & Co Ltd

Worked there for almost two years, never got a raise or promotion. Almost got promoted but not to the location I was hired at, so decided to decline because of location issues and after that I was not treated with the same respect & was denied a raise or more hours. 

They talk a lot about work culture, then switch around the entire districts’ managers and try to get them to get along with and change the habits of a whole new team. 

You get no hours because they hire so many employees that each one gets about 10 hours a week. Lots of turnover, had about 5 different managers in the time I was there, lots of different co-workers too. 

They say they love promoting internally but then hire managers from the outside even though lots of sales employees have literally been doing tasks of the managers and not being recognized for it. Asked to do much more than job description and expected to do it everyday with a boatload of other tasks to be completed in one shift.

The customers there were actually pretty good overall and selling luggage was really fun, but the management was really just horrible.

If they notice you to be a good worker and fast learner, they make you do assistant manager’s/ manager’s work but don’t want to pay accordingly even though they could hire an assistant manager after they quit or promote a good sales associate. Schedule is there for nothing, they can change it (even for the next day) and not tell you. So you might come for the scheduled opening shift but then see that it got rescheduled to closing. So you have to go home and come back in the evening. They want you to be on call basically. They don’t accept when you’re sick so you have to come in anyway even though you’re not scheduled and sick in bed. They can call you at 11PM to ask you to come in the next evening. Very unnecessary.

I worked at many Bentley locations and they are all a little different, but are overall efficient. It will be very hit or miss with managers, half were great and the other half were not. Coworkers are almost always wonderful, and I have made very good friends and contacts through this company. We do a lot as associates and I feel we should be paid more than minimum especially when we are closing by ourselves the majority of the time. 

The upper management will fire and write people up every other day for personal reasons. They break multiple workplace standards. The amount of turnover is unbelievable. They will sneak behind your back to force you to quit and make your life awful. They hire staff with no intention of building a team or family environment. They expect you to maintain their store and unrealistic expectations until you realize how bad the job is and quit. So the cycle continues and they bring new people into the “team” please be warned. This will be the worst job you ever have. Don’t take the chance. This company is going down fast. 
 

Upper management is awful. No one ever knows what they’re doing.  All they do is make promises that they don’t keep. I’m not sure why they have bonuses when they never pay them out. It’s always “next paycheck, next paycheck”. Bentley as a whole is failing. There’s no point in working for Bentley when they’re just going to  “restructure” the company again in a few years and go bankrupt for the hundredth time. No Matter how long you work for the company, they can just fire you and say that your position no longer exist. Save yourself the hassle and find a stable job are you feel appreciated by the higher ups and get paid what you deserve.

Working here was honestly one of the most traumatic things I’ve ever had to go through and I feel like I would need extensive therapy to fully heal from this company. Management was extremely overbearing and they made working in general very stressful. There were no incentives for employees who do show up and put in the effort but as soon as you do something remotely wrong they penalized you by making you feel terrible and guilty, instead of having a teachable attitude towards it. This company has so many internal issues and they seriously need to be addressed.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Transparency, great employee, fair expectations, disorganised

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Changing plan and direction too quick with not enough time to get prepared.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Friendly, room to grow, very multi cultural, lack of planing.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Have some meeting, coaching team, visit stores, answer emails, hrs on phone with my team.

Not the most enjoyable time there due to management and problems there. Another co worker also had issues with management. Also at the time problems with District managers. 

Just like every other retail store. Weird work environment, management doesn’t really care about anyone as long as the job gets done. Lots of pressure to make sales with no commission and minimum wage.

This store should do them self a favour and get a manager who actually is mature versus one who is disrespectful, gaslighting, bias and needs a pacifier instead of a job.
