Boots reviews

Starting to be a little more micro-managed which is never a good thing, the pay is sub-par and should be better. The software is horribly outdated.

Due to the retail nature there was a 2 month period over Christmas where no holiday was permitted, to me this seemed a little excessive. I was oftered training to develop after only 3 months with the company, however I was told I was able to start Jan, then told this was full so would be April. April came and having asked for any updates regularly nothing was forthcoming, eventally told late May (almost 2 months after it was due to start) it would be starting in July, not further details given until late June, days before due to start. Over my time with the company I had 2 direct managers, one of whom I felt didnt display very good team leadership, I was often left feeling I was doing badly and very unmotivated as the quantity of tasks delegated without support was not reasonable. Due to regular cutbacks staffing got tighter and tigher meaning every day was a real challenge. I began to feel very much that just the basis were being done and the customer was suffering. The store looked messy and unloved. I felt very taken advantage of, as I has shown interest in development and was told I could train as assistant manager there was an expactation for me to constantly do overtime with do reward (time/pay), while I accepted as an assistant manager this would be the case I was not yet undertaking training and wasnt carrying out any roles related.
