Boots

Getting into work early just to grab electronic devices that actually work. I learned pretty quickly that your direct management think that your job is very easy and if you have any opinion to the contrary you end up with a marked card. Other workers and the customers are what made the bearable ,  my job delivering prescriptions etc brought me into direct contact with customers who I thought of as friends . Management just keep adding new aspects to your job and assuming that you have plenty of time to complete them. Faulty equipment only added to an already stressful job. Was hoping the job would get easier as I became familiar with procedures but as extra items were added to your job description it just seemed to harder n harder to get everything done. Worked there for over a year and still did not have a Company ID Card to show the public. Don't bother applying for work here unless you can handle stress . 

Hideously toxic environment within the opticians
No work life balance and management just don’t care! If you say you are struggling or stressed you are managed out of the company even with an impeccable work record
A sinking ship with no one at the helm

i was trained in the beauty crew department, however only very little training, customers would want advice on things such as baby stuff or pharmacy, i would not know how to help them and management would expect me to when clearly not knowledgeable customers would become very rude and mangers would not do much

Great company to work for, the training they provide is amazing. Nice wee allocation perks to try products and wear them on counter.
You also get 2 dresses a blazer, a skirt, trousers and 2 blouses for uniform which are stunning and very comfortable.

Could not reccomend more. I was a temp during christmas, and it was brill. The staff are lovely, and the managers are also amazing. The hours are good, you get good breaks. The pay is also something to gawk at haha.

If your face fits with management then you'll be ok. If not then working at Boots is difficult. Most of the shop floor staff were ok but the manager was like a robot. She didn't want to know if there were any concerns or problems.

If your face doesn’t fit then you will not progress. I have been asking about progressing my career either with qualifications or moving into management for the last five years. They promise they will at some point but it never happens

What is the best part of working at the company?
Nothing. Co restructure laid off

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Driving all day to several stores

Unfortunately I endured bullying in the workplace 
I loved my job the beauty industry is fun & exciting no 2 days are the same 
unfortunately boots didn’t take my concerns seriously !

Management and staff are fair.
Pleasant store environment.
Good opportunities to progress and work on fragrance and beauty counters.
Rare of pay and holiday pay are good.
