Hi all,

Anyone ever worked with Al Tayer Group. All I know is that the company has a very good presence here in the UAE, but I want to hear from someone first-hand what it likes working there. Any tips and comments will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

you working or gonna work there.....

I haven't worked there yet.

Al tayer motors., they are the dealer of FORD vehicles..,

what kind of work are you about to join?

Look at the package and then join if it suits your needs....

The AL Tayer Group has sizeable holdings in the UAE and is owned by a well known and respected local family.
Apart from the retail automotive industry, they have a distribution portfolio of exclusive brands.

The family have interests in real estate, investment, financial management and are close to the Royal family, some being members of the Executive Council and managing governmental departments. Mattar Al Tayer is the head of the RTA.

They are a big company and possibly one of the better ones to work with in Dubai.

Which part of Al Tayer? The own Gulf News, Radio 1&2, Motivate Publishing and lots more besides.

Depends what area of the group, my experience was not so good with them. They have a nasty habit of withholding passports and putting ridiculous clauses in contracts.

If you get on the wrong side of them, forget it.

not only them., a lot of employers do that....

I know that, but these guys are real buggers about it, and I find that stupid when Gulf News publish that it's not allowed to withold them, yet they do it themselves.

right., even i read that in gulfnews., the rules and regulations are not clear over here.,

The rules are VERY clear! It is against UAE labour law for ANY company to withold the passports of employees! Pure and simple. The passport is the property of your government and no third party is allowed to hold it for any reason whatsoever! It even states that inside your passport.

Sadly many companies do it and get away with it.

My company keep asking for mine, I refuse to give it to them. I even told them if they wish to have my passport, then they must submit a letter to my embassy stating why they need to have it - that soon shut them up.

I know the rules are CLEAR...but none follows it., even the immigration department...why to have clear rules then?

Chocoholic,

I will be working in the F&B division. As for withholding the passports, I knew about this beforehand and they told me they are now not doing this anymore.
