Cons

Perpetually short staffed We went without a manager for 6 months adding pressure and workload that was not in my pay bracket Unrealistic targets with the level of staffing.

Pros

Absolute Zero apart from it being called a job ( Pfffffff)

Cons

Terrible company. Worked for them for 15 years plus. Unrealistic targets, poor pay, unrealistic expectations, zero staff to help and use performance management as a tool to get rid of people who are old and those who "push back". Avoid at all cost for sake of your health!!!!!!

Pros

Discount, that’s about it - but even that’s not great, they could give you more. 12.5% off most things in store, unless it’s a Boots own brand (eg No7, Botanics - but NOT Soap & Glory as other reviews incorrectly state).

Cons

Unpaid overtime is expected if you’re in a management position, no support, lack of staff, constant cuts to staffing budgets despite growing targets year on year, and if you complain then you’re a ‘moaner’. Unrealistic expectations, leaves you & your teams feeling like whats expected is impossible. Salary on this site is also unrealistic - its much lower than what’s reported.
