Supportive, encouraging, flexible. A wonderful organisation to work for.
Cons
None, other that the uncertainty that exists working within the charity sector in terms of funding. However, that is not something that Barnardo's has any control over.

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