Unproductive and awful workplace
Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Leicester, Leicestershire - 28 September 2023
I regret to say that my experience with Barker Ross has been nothing short of terrible. The quality of their work is awful, they have a tendency to make false promises, and their communication is virtually nonexistent. I would strongly advise against engaging their services.
Cons
No proper training

Stressful and hectic.
Account Manager (Former Employee) - Shirebrook - 5 April 2023
Every week demands from you grow. No training given or given after 4 months. No one cares about people who we employ on site. No contact with management. Work before and after work from home. Work on your days off. Work on call at any time.
Pros
Helping people get job and train them.
Cons
Work on site and from home non stop, even on your 1 day off a week.

Wouldn’t recommend
Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Bedford, Bedfordshire - 15 January 2020
Pro it’s an independent job
They were uninformative,
The interview process felt very rushed,
Lack of communication between themselves,
Misplaced documents after interview,
And overall made to feel replaceable.
