      Pros

      Worked part time on weekends so hours where manageable around my studying. Managers were friendly, approachable and would always offer help and guidance, we were always up to date with any training needed, I got on really well with my colleagues and enjoyed working with all of them. There was always something to do when the store wasn't busy, which was good as you never get bored and standing there doing nothing! the staff discount was a great bonus.

      Cons

      Often the store would be relatively quiet throughout the day and a large rush at lunch hour, with exceptions to christmas! There wasn't alot of overtime offered apart from during busy periods such as christmas and maybe over the summer holidays.

      Pros

      you make good friends. you get a briefing on your store on how its doing in the market and its products, how much is selling, profits and loss made and what they could do and employees could do in order to improve. you get bonuses on how well you did and from getting feel good moments from customer care. pay rise after three months after probation. Boots really do value thier customers and i found this out after i forked from them. a gread deal of team work and managers are always roaming arund to see if everyones doing thier job and to see what there is to do so they could inform thier employee they this is to be done... there is no time limit and managers are really chilled out however at busy moments they want you to be on the till as soon as possible.

      Cons

      different managers are responsible for different things. some managers take care of shifts and so requesting them for a cirtain shift is hard as they will not give it to you. but many emplyees prefer different shifts however if someone is on an early on sunday but prefers a late and vis versa with a an other employee then co-workers team up together and swap shifts which works out in the end. I think managers should be organised and ask employees in what they prefer and they could worktogether and be a success.
