When Boots Opticians workers have taken our quiz, we will share with you their best things and their worst things about working there.
I have a knowledgeable team and we all get on. I like helping people feel confident in their glasses. Job can be mentally challenging at times, but I like that as every day is different. Discount is good and the day passes quickly as we are always busy. Get 1 hour lunch.
