Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at Boots full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Boots discount allows you to get some good deals.
Cons
You are treated appallingly as an employee. You’re not listened to and only do what’s best for themselves. They have no respect for you or the customers and it’s all about hitting targets at any cost, even if it means doing things that aren’t strictly legit. There’s no escalation route if you feel you need to speak to someone and higher management are just as unhelpful and corrupt as the store management. So many stories to tell that could put this company in the headlines!

Pros
Pays a good rate, reasonable working hours.
Cons
Completely disorganised management, no communication between different senior members of staff causing a lot of disruption, misunderstandings and other general problems.
