Pros

None other than Derby site is based in meteor centre.

Cons

Pay, Bonus is based on entire workshop peformance, little to no training from management on how to repair specific equipment based on their knowledge, the Manager isn't a nice person to talk. Only 3 people are allowed off at only one time when it was previously 6 and late shifts are 11:30am till 8pm when it originally was 10:00AM till 6:30pm. If your on probation your setup to fail as it's like the wild west to get equipment to repair when they want to do it themselves. When on a weekend shift you can't book sat or sunday off unless YOU are able to arrange cover. which isn't our job to do. They are not inclusive for those with disabilities or mental abilities. and expects perfection every time. You don't get holiday pay included in the monthly pay if you took time off during the month. Only get holiday pay when it's not been used on last payslip.

Barron McCann Response

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to read that you weren't happy with your manager, you can always come to HR if you don't feel you can talk to your manager. The shifts were changed based on business requirements giving all impacted staff notice of the slightly later start and finish times. We are an Equal Opportunities company and will always look at reasonable adjustments to ensure that no one is left disadvantaged within the work place. All holiday is paid in the month unless it is taken after the payroll cut off and will then be paid in your next pay. I am sorry again that you have not been happy during your time here but if you would like to email HR@Barronmccann.com with feedback, we will address this for you.

Pros

Staff and management are very friendly and really supportive, Good canteen. Some projects are fairly simple and straight forward depending on the client. Well maintained fleet and fuel card.

Cons

Poor pay for the role Difficult to claim expenses (Pretty critical in a field based role) cumbersome timesheets which need to be manually emailed every week to be processed Some projects poorly planned, lots of issues with permits and stock orders. Working hours can be very long.

Pros

A real forward thinking company, the direction that Scott is leading the business is really exciting. We are developing the sectors we are working in, widening the skill sets of our teams, starting the work on true internal development and really starting to listen to the boots on the ground in terms of what and how we can improve. Barron McCann is built on their people, we have lots of people that have been with the business a very long time and the support they give and the knowledge they have is second to none. We then have lots more people that haven't been here as long, but are coming with great ideas and process improvements which is really helping drive the business forward. I have been here a month so far and I am genuinely pinching myself as I have never loved a role and company as much as I have here.

Cons

I genuinely can not find one yet. Possibly the Barron McCann stone - with the subsidised canteen and the great menu offers - I am having to work hard to resist the great value hot dinners at lunch time.
