      No Opinion of CEO

      I worked at Boots full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      Best place to work with ..learnt a lot ..had a great team at both lupset and chimes.

      Cons

      - Didn't get enough salary hike and a package. -in 2010, I was told that company will sponsor me working visa (Tier 2) and because of that I didn't find a new job .. in 2011, I was told that they can't sponsor the visa due to frequent changes in government rules. I would be there by this time if the company had sponsored me the visa or they would have informed me earlier (I could have joined other organisations) and I didn't have to return to my home country after spending lot of money in completing master's.

      Advice to Management

      Use carrot theories for right employees or don't commit something to employees which you can't give..if you do so then you are playing with someone's career. Anyway that was lesson for me .. Fortunately, I got a job in drug safety in my home country and got a chance to work with all big pharma companies.

      Pros

      Great Opportunity to start, very straight forward. Working as a team is a must. Great environment, everyone is like family.

      Work can be overloaded. Lack of staff, need to hire more. No such thing as night shift colleagues therefore restocking items go back to the day colleagues.

      More staff is needed
