      I have been working at Boots full-time

      Pros

      The team is lovely and it's a very warm environment to be in. There is a lot of training involved so you are taught everything needed to know. You get an allowance every 3 months for products you want to try out which gives you chance to use the products, which are amazing. 4 weeks annual leave. An hour for lunch and another 30 minute break during the day.

      Cons

      You're on your feet all day so at the beginning will be hard if you're not used to it. You are not allowed a phone or personal property on the shop floor. If you're a smoker you don't get smoke breaks other than your specified break times.

      I worked at Boots full-time for less than a year

      Pros

      20% discount on anything boots owned. 12.5% on everything else.

      Cons

      Management is absolutely shocking. Have zero personal skills. Curse at you rather than talk to you.

      Advice to Management

      Get new management. Never worked in a place with such bad management and a big turn over of staff. Can't understand why people leave yet push them out if they dont like them enough regardless of actual work capability and ethic. Promised possibilities of moving up but very very slim chance of it actually happening

      Neutral Outlook
      No Opinion of CEO

      I worked at Boots part-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      - good pay - good training - managers keep to their word - good benefits like pension and dental . - I think about 23 days holiday for 40hrs per week and option to take extra one week unpaid - larger stores are good about Christmas hours. Christmas staff must do Christmas Eve and Stephens day so other staff can have either day off

      Cons

      - often problems with roster in larger stores - sometimes lack of organization - impossible to get fired once permanent which unfortunately means reallybad staff members stay on even though they should have been fired
