Boots

The pay compared to other pharmacy jobs.

The constant pressure to ensure prescriptions are completed, whilst managing healthcare counter at the drop of a hat and other non-healthcare departments through lack of overall staffing or understanding from management.

Some of the people you work with.

The way the customers talk to you. The manager is horrible.

The skills you develop while working and training

Customers are treated better than staff

The people

Stress
Under staffed
Unrealistic duties
Health and safety
No loyalty for staff anymore
Voice not really heard
One rule for one etc

Being paid at the end of each month.

Managers not being proper managers, the staff treating each other as though back in school. Colleagues not acting their age, bullying each other, the atmosphere in the workplace, mental health problems that they cause. Not having any mental health training.

Pay, location

Fast paced, lots of online training, many talks and not enough time, repetative

The customers

How dirty it is.

Trying lots of new products, brand training.

Working hours, manager not flexible

The people I work with

It's near where I live

Everything else

Good team, reasonable pay

Useless IT, over managed, clueless company

Meeting people from different stores

Not enough staff and don't get to do your with having do other tasks

Working as a team and helping to make a difference to customers lives. No two days are the same.

The surgery expecting pharmacists to do their job!

Safe employment

Stressed out of mind. Can sleep. Feel sick and anxious.

The customers and my colleagues

Too much work and not and not enough staff

The team I work for and the location

Unreachable targets, lack of incentive to move on and inflexibility to rotas

The staff

Lack of staff

Everyone is so welcoming, any questions I had when I first started working about the job every employee answered the best they could.

Nothing, the team is welcoming and lovely.

The colleagues are so welcoming and helpful! Lovely working Atmosphere.

The queue can get scary when it is long.

Team work staff togetherness

Hours and people

Customers !!!

People i work with

Unrealistic and unacheivable targets

I only work part time

It's very repetitive

Good pay, great staff and most customers treat you with respect.

Favouritism definitely exists and sometimes managers can speak down to you.

The knowledge and helping people.

The workload, responsibility and stress of it.

Discount

Team

Short staffed and stressed

My colleagues, get to help and support the local community

Expected to do too much , don’t get paid enough for the responsibilities I have, expected to work without enough staff

Boots is well know organisation in Uk and the manager and staff are so friendly and helpful and also taught me to learn more things

Work satisfaction.
Fellow workers.
Some customers are nice

No pay if off sick for less than 3 days. Poor sick pay .
Abusive and rude customers . Long hours standing.

Hours

Not enough time to complete workload

To be honest I’m looking to leave as the short time I’ve been there it’s shown me that their mentality is very backwards

You cannot trust anyone

Team I work with

People at work

Too much too do at work
