Good place to work
Factory Worker (Current Employee) - Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire - 12 June 2020
I enjoyed working at Barker Ross since I have been working there for a long time. Everyone was very nice and they helped me to find hours that suited me and my children.
I vividly recommend this job since you will be able to schedule it how you want to.

Jobs at Barker Ross Group
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.

Support Staff Nottingham
Support Worker (Current Employee) - Nottingham, Nottinghamshire - 5 June 2019
The positive aspects of working for Barkerross is the staff are very approachable and professional and it offers flexible working hours. The staff at Barkerross have a greater understanding of the agency staff's needs and circumstances and they will accommodate accordingly.
The staff engage positively with all of their staff from different nationalities and ethnic minorities. I have met some lovely, amazing staff at the agency, and I have worked at some amazing places. I have throughly enjoyed being a member of the agency and has been a worthwhile experience, and I enjoy my job and making a difference to clients lives.
The manager is always available to listen to staff to highlight any concerns.
I would highly recommend Barkerross as a recruitment agency to work for.
Pros
Flexible working hours.
Cons
I don't have any to report.

Poor company, does not treat others fairly
cleaner (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 13 February 2019
This company does not reply to emails,does not call, and treats people in an unfair manner.
I do not have anything else to say other than, it is a company interested in making a pound or two.

Avoid at all cost.
Purchasing Assistant (Former Employee) - Lincoln, Lincolnshire - 2 February 2019
The main issue was with the employment itself rather than Barker Ross. The manager is extremely unprofessional and the ring leader of bullying. Unwilling to train the staff and would rather gossip behind your back instead of help. Best decision made was leaving! Wouldn't work through agency again due to lack of communication once they was made aware of the situation.
Pros
Going home
Cons
Everything
