Good holidays; chaotic management; unrealistic goals; very physical job - Retail Store Associate Barnardo's Employee Review

An organization focused on the future. In a corporate transition and hoping to add value to the families, young people and children they support.

Emotional, tiring work for those who are passionate about serving a social cause.

Barnardo's really helps people across the UK and I was lucky enough to see this first-hand. My immediate managers were supportive, loyal, and responsive to their team's feelings. I admired my colleagues a great deal: they were all dedicated and hardworking. Flexible and responsive to work-life balance requests.

There was a great deal of disillusionment about the new employee contract and the consultation process surrounding it. The consultation seemed forced and many employees - including managers - felt pressured to agree to the conditions despite misgivings.
