McCarthy & Stone reviews

There is no respect for employees from the management at McCarthy and Stone and they tend to employ the wrong people in middle management positions with very little experience of the industry, our customers and the difficulties of trying to sell retirement apartments in a niche market. They are only interested in profit and would achieve more sales if the apartments were attainable for more people. There is now a real bullying culture which seems to be encouraged. Communication between departments is virtually non-existent and the majority of staff are looking for another job. A very unhappy place of employment to be given a wide berth if you value your self worth and confidence.

4 managers, a whole call centre and highly skilled graphics team axed in my short but unpleasant time working for McStone. One had over 18yrs company experience. Colleagues more interested in office politicking than actually performing well. Shambolic marketing strategy & implementation - more fire-fighting than planning. Siloed teams lacking any attempt at joined up communications. Dreadful work/life balance - the only way to succeed is to have no life outside work.
