Pros

I have worked for Barchester Sherwood Court for 10 years, starting my employment as HCA, 12 months later I became a Senior HCA, moving to the Administrator Assistant role and as of recently to the Administrator role. Barchester gave me the opportunity and encouraged me to move up the ladder for which I am truly grateful.

Cons

I am the well-being champion of the home, not just to staff and residents but also to relatives - no designated person/s to look after my well-being

Pros

I struggle to find anything positive to say anymore. Barchester used to employ superb people but they have all had enough and are leaving in droves. They used to have a brilliant reputation, the management structure was flat, everyone felt that they were part of something special. Not any more. It's all about profit now. Nothing else seems to matter to the current CEO.

Cons

Barchester used to make the 25 Best Big Companies list every year. But they won't get it again. Staff no longer feel valued. Promises are made to new staff but it's all a con. Attrition rates are shocking. The Business School no longer exists and staff development is a joke as the company has slashed its L&D budget yet Barchester continues to claim that their career training is the best in the business. The current board and senior managers have established a hierarchical dictatorship akin to a 1980's corporation which seeks to treat its middle managers like mushrooms.
