Car or no Car?
Someone asked me whether I would let company car vs. car allowance vs. mileage reimbursement influence my decision to take one job over another. The answer is no – at least not as a key influence. Frankly, I have client companies (clinical diagnostics, pathology, histology, chemistry, microbiology, genetic and molecular based product lines) that provide company cars and client companies that do not. But companies with company cars may actually pay less commission. And companies without company cars may actually pay more commission. And with more commission the company car piece should become less important. For example, I have a candidate who currently has a company car that I am trying to recruit for a client that doesn’t offer a company car. What should she do? At first, she told me that she would not go to work for a company that did not provide a car…..I said that was a shame. She said why? I said “I can think of 15,000 reasons why” – that is the difference in overall compensation (my job paid that much more than her current position).
Aside from money there are many other factors to consider:
Management Style, Career Opportunity, Continuing Education, Location, Work Requirements, etc……Choose the company, not the car.
