Pros

Great discounts, great support and training, always wanting to push staff to further themselves i.e. healthcare training, beauty training. Great teams where everyone is felt included. Very good surprise rewards like extra bonus', rewards for full attendance, ad hoc points bonuses for good customer service - made you feel appreciated.

Cons

Sometimes large strain on staff, in my time at boots a lot of people left and weren't replaced so current staff had to take on the extra load to save costs. Put large strain on staff and at times resulted in shop being understaffed.

Pros

Good discount (both for you and a family member), good training, opportunities for development.

Cons

Time off policies were difficult - holidays were hard to get in early as you didn't know when you wanted off. Also, you were to stand all shift without a chair. The branch I worked in was a very family like shop to the point of favouritism. Older/better known people always got better shifts or jobs, for example. The management changes regularly.
