RecommendsI worked at Boots part-time for more than 3 years
Pros
An ideal student job as there are numerous hours available to fit around university. You’re someone who’ll be exposed to working on many different areas of the shop. You’ll be part of delivery, customer service, dealing with customer queries and complaints. Depending on the size of the store, your duties will work around that. You will often work in different departments (within the bigger stores) and learn communication skills. Some of the team were epic. You get a discount card.
Cons
In some stores there is “cliquey” culture unfortunately. However, overall it’s pleasant as long as you associate with people who make you happy at work.

Management Salary Processes and overly pedantic They don't really appreciate problem solving or using your initiative even though they promote this in their recruitment? Too much work and not enough bodies.
