productive and great work ethics. very competetive, well structured as well growth opportunities. the environment is demading but it will be good to have work flexibilty.
Professional plant with the expected ups and downsGood opportunities to travel internationally within the group.Benefits like vehicle and medical also make the package more attractive.
The company is undergoing change in it's management systems however, the culture of patronage is still very entrenched. Without any informal personal comnections, you wont grow. Production staff usually remains in their roles for over 10 years. There still remains a lot of uneducated people with lots of power.
Pros
Fair salary, great brand
Cons
No growth, highly political, food subsidy discontinued, unskilled leadership in production, High nepotism.
Bmw is one of the best cars in the world, and I am a very huge fan of bmw. I want to work and be a part of something I really like with is taking pictures of the most thing I love.
Excellent company, Great culture , keen on developing staff , great benefits . Love the new working environment and flexible working hours i.e. work from home opportunity.
Pros
Flexible working opportunity
Cons
None
Very challenging and with high expectations. Work hard but excellent company with excellent remuneration and benefits. The stress levels is high as allot is expected from one, however the company looks after you very well.
A typical day at BMW you wake up without knowing what to expect. This because while sleeping production is taking place and new defects arise. It was very challenging and demanding. It required one to be at the tip of their toe all times. BMW firmly apply continous improvement. It a work place of culture and heritage. The most enjoyable part had to be adapting to their culture.
The owners are amazing, understanding People's people. They are business orientated, yet care for their staff. They invest time and money to make sure that their staff are happy
I am a loyal worker. I do my work as fast as possible. I do not find any challenges with my work anymore, for I have worked for over 12 years with BMW. I love learning new things and are always curious to learn more.
Pros

Good industry to work in. Lots of exposure for growth and development. Large corporate with major focus on people investment . Has a world class training facility for associates .
A good place to work and advance one's career. Encouraged to expand one's knowledge and exposure, and encouraged self fulfillment. Employees encouraged to adopt a entrepreneurial approach to business and to take responsibility for actions taken.
Had to resign as a result of a personal tragedy in my life when my wife unexpectadly passed on. I was responsible for the overall shift security in terms of SLA compliance from service providers which included operational as well as CCTV security.
Pros

BMW is at the forefront of technological advancement.
BMW has one of the very best work environment I have ever had the opportunity to work in. The people as well as the culture of the space is exceptional.
Pros
good balance between work and life; comfortable workloads
Cons
rigidity in operation
BMW is great company to work for I have been a contractor for almost 8 years now which is the reason why I am considering moving. I am happy with the culture here though.
The Financial Services division is South Africa is a racist environment. The company staff is extremely old school, with no room for innovative ideas. There is a constant battle to stay ahead, and there is no work/life balance.
Cons
Long hours
