Anyone Done A Stint At BarCap

I have only worked at BarCap in Poole and Knutsford.
Poole: Very busy, people very nice.
Knutsford: Very busy, people stressed and vary between very nice to idiots.

I suspect that it will be very busy with not enough money or time put into the project and the people will be stressed and or idiots.

Good luck though.

I was wondering how on earth anyone could ever employ joey but that goes some way to explaining it.

Barcrap!? Worked for them at Knutsford.

Bastards arent backward at introducing rate cuts. Told them to **** off when they pulled that one on me and I wont consider a role with them ever again.

I have 'issues' with them. Best I don't go into it.

What I can say is, when one of there people contacted me about subscription details to HAB Inc I told them I didn't want them as a customer. The tried the "don't you know who we are" routine and I told them, "Yeah, I know exactly who you are. Now, F... ..F and don't contact me again", and I hung up.

Petty I know, but the memory still feels good.

It's a service station on the M6. There was a UFO sighting there once but, strangely, all records relating thereto have now disappeared from the web

There's a video of the motorway though
