Pros

nice benefits although they have changed the rules and now you don’t get as many.

Cons

Low wages does not reflect the amount of work you do- you do admin (filing, placing orders chasing orders, contacting customers etc.) as well as dispensing. And on top of that some stores have no cleaners so you are expected to clean the store- bathrooms, moping and hoovering. High targets- so rarely got bonus. Toxic work culture Barely any room for growth- and even if you do get a better role- the salary does not reflect the work load Very high staff turnover Late hours and irregular shift patterns. Overall would not recommend- especially if this is a part time role

Pros

- teams in store are just amazing people

Cons

- David Clulow is now managed by Vision Express, so it’s the same churning machine - toxic - high pressure (targets are not achieved) - short staffed - area managers are not trained on what they can and cannot say which is wrong eg don’t tell a parent if their child is sick “can’t someone else look after them?” - high targets and online training which is mandatory with no staff makes no sense - asking people to do it on their day off is rude - zero career progression
