"Customer Assistant"
StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Boots full-time
Pros
Good pay, good working environment, range of things to do/ get involved with and progress is available. options yo move to different areas within the business if desired
Cons
Work a lot of shifts, late nights also included. not always managerial support in terms of customer disputes and disagreements
Advice to Management
treat all members of staff the same, without having favourites and giving al the unfavourable shifts to the younger members of staff. Delegate them fairly.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Boots part-time
Pros
Generous discount rate. Good holiday hours. There is a 'feel-good-feeling' about working for a brand which is very valued by its customers. There is a lot of opportunity for career progression. I started as a customer assistant and progressed onto a qualified role as a pharmacy advisor which is accredited by the GPhC. Could progress from there onto Pharmacy Technician.
Cons
VERY limited staff numbers. Unrealistic targets set in ALL departments. Makes you feel undervalued whilst doing a 3 person job on a daily basis.
Advice to Management
Care more about staff wellbeing. Attitudes can be dehumanising

Pros
Meet lovely people, get a chance to gain experience in customer service. Pay is good especially for under 18 and under 21.
Cons
Not a lot of chance for progression, especially when working in the retail shop side. No where upwards promotion wise to go.?
