Pros

The people I work with are all nice people and generally enjoyable to work alongside. The pay is decent for retail. There are some good career opportunities.

Cons

Security guards are few and far between stores. Not enough hours to give people permanent full time hours. Pay roll tends to get pay wrong....a lot (my experience) Only old contracts get extra pay on sundays. Don't get any extra for working bank holidays like you used to. People who have a healthcare discount card get a discount of 10% across all boots, staff get 12.5% on non boots own, and 22.5% on boots own products. Nhs discount holders can also use discount and use points, staff cannot.
