      Disapproves of CEO

      I have been working at Boots full-time (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      Good colleagues
      Work is enjoyable
      Targets are normally achievable

      Cons

      Benefits have been cut
      HQ don't actually care about staff - just a number
      Budgets are tight, so not enough staff

      Advice to Management

      Management inshore are fine, but higher up, you need to sort yourselves out. You do not care about staff and especially staff morale. We should be treated fairly.

      Pros

      Cons

      Boring work and over the top sales goals

      Advice to Management

      If you like being a cashier be my guest. That's pretty much all you will be doing. Offering help and ringing people up

      Pros

      Fantastic opportunities for development as well as one of the greatest intranets for accessing information about company processes and systems.

      Cons

      Some of the changes that were meant go improve things, made life more difficult because they weren't implemented correctly.

      Advice to Management

      Involve staff from every level in projects and new process development.

      Pros

      Friendly staff, which are awesome to make friends with. A great work environment, a pleasant place to work and good facilities for breaks.

      Cons

      Some customers can be rude but rarely. I was based in Boots through agency so not being able to work full time was a con for me.

      Advice to Management

      Keep going as you are, you're doing a great job! Always on track and the store is always tidy. Your staff are happy and content, as was I on my visit.
