Pros

Supporting and training the volunteers, Often had regular customers. It was fun processing the donations and doing the merchandising of the store.

Cons

The team were bullies; as a previous employee of Barnardo's I was bullied by some of the team there. There's definitely a pack mentality going on, where if you don't have the same mindset as them then you're ignored and treated very unfairly. It massively impacted my mental health, I was signed off work and didn't return to the business. It was dealt with terribly, I escalated the problems I was facing to HR and nothing was done, no further action was taken against the individuals who had treated me in this way.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
