Pros
- Employee discount - Some flexible working, mostly for people who have children - Mental health support via third party company paid for by Boots - Company may pay for qualifications
Cons
- Varies depending on your manager. Some very good and others very bad - Also varies depending on overall company plans - Increases in workload not always dealt with in good time, often staff who haven't been made redundant are overworked - Too much of an expectation to 'go the extra mile' - Lack of career progression, unless you want to be a manager. Particularly lacking if you're disabled - Open plan office is not amenable for everyone - Expected to train others a lot - More difficult for introverts who don't network - Not always flexible or understanding enough of people with disabilities, particularly invisible disabilities. HR approaches and ethos around this need updating. They also need to be more open to suggestions from disabled people rather than deciding what they need
