Pros

Leaving the car park at home time

Cons

My experience at Barron McCann was deeply troubling due to the behavior of certain managers. Unfortunately, some members of the management team exhibited unprofessional and even petty conduct towards staff, which created a hostile and uncomfortable work environment. Instances of bullying and favoritism were not uncommon, and it was disheartening to witness colleagues being subjected to such treatment. This behavior eroded trust within the team and created a sense of fear and uncertainty among employees. It became clear that some managers were more interested in asserting their authority than in nurturing a collaborative and supportive work culture. Fingers are always pointed and solutions are rarely given to any issues. When I first joined, I was put off with the negative reviews in this website, now I can see why. The impact of such managerial behavior was significant, contributing to high turnover rates and an overall sense of discontent among the staff. It is my sincere hope that the company takes these issues seriously and works towards a more respectful and inclusive workplace, where employees can thrive without fear of mistreatment. Additionally, my attempts to seek support or raise concerns with the HR department were often met with disappointment. It was evident that there was a close relationship between HR and the managers, which left little room for impartiality. My concerns and issues were frequently brushed aside, and it was disheartening to feel that there was no reliable avenue for addressing workplace problems.

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.
