Great team to work with

Sales assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

I was happy with my rate of pay, and as a student i found the hours of working quite flexible, being able to pick up overtime during the heavier seasons There was sometimes good incentives for hard work such as make up or fragrance testers

Cons

Overtime is very dependent on seasons and sometimes their isn't much availability when you need it. There isn't much scope for promotions The lifting and moving of Christmas stock can be difficult, i caused myself back injury though lifting and working on my feet during a particularly busy Christmas period

Pros

Made many friends during my year there, some of whom I have been on holiday with etc. Got lots of opportunities to participate in physical activity and fundraising challenges for Macmillan. Personally developed so much due to the responsibility and support I was given.

Cons

Sometimes would work longer than my contracted hours to get things done.

Great company to work for

Customer assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers and the staff discount is very reasonable too; 12.5% off non-Boots branded items and 22.5% off Boots branded items. Also the few days of double discount is great! It's good that uniform is provided and if you need extra, the managers are always quick to order them for you.

Cons

Some managers make unreasonable decisions about our working practices without discussing with the staff who do the job. Lots of gaps in training; we end up training ourselves and each other!
