• Best thing

  The team are lovely and the customers are also lovely for the most part

  Worst thing

  Low pay, managers untrained in hiring under 18s, unrealistic expectations from managers regarding workload, shoplifting, being on your feet all day, unclean and small staff room, shifts change without notice, frequently understaffed even for a small shop.

• Best thing

  Superdrug Discount

  Worst thing

  Horrible Management - they feel entitled and are rude. They throw all of their responsibilities on you and treat you with no respect. They have ridiculous expectations. They are irresponsible too and lack empathy. The Head Office do investigations when issues are raised just for show, and let the senior staff off with a “warning” that doesn’t mean much. They handed an underaged part time sales associate keys for the store multiple times, where a 17 year old had to look after the keys and meet the manager in the morning to give to them to open.

  Savers Nightshift, June 2023

• Best thing

  In my mind once my shift ends, whatever happens there is none of my business and it doesn't come home with me

  Worst thing

  My colleagues seem to think they're still at school and always talk behind eachothers backs and too much is expected of us

  Savers Sales advisor, May 2023

• Best thing

  The team I work with.

  Worst thing

  Being attached by customers and having to clean up their bodily ablutions. Thieves being threatening. Management telling us getting a security guard isn't viable and we need to put up with the violence. We feel extremely unsafe.
