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

Terrible

temporary worker (Former Employee) - Leicester - 15 August 2020

Terrible place to work, unpleasant management, far from willing to help, only minding own business and ignoring phone calls from employees in need, zero help at the time of pandemic either.

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.
