some managers rude and un helpful, power hungry can feel unfairly treated as managers have favourites but isn't that with a lot of jobs. Good for a first job

Pros
Good progression in terms of becoming team leader etc. A lot of motivation and new skills to learn too
Cons
Poor pay, too much focus on active selling makes it an unhappy place to work sometimes
Advice to Management
Hire security guards rather than expecting sales advisors to do 10 jobs in one

Pros
Decent staff discount, friends and family offers are great. Loved speaking to customers and making their day.
Cons
Very unorganised management, treat staff like just another number in their statistics, too much pressure on targets. Poor pay for the amount of work required per hour and too much training.
Advice to Management
Start treating employees with more respect.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Superdrug full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Good business results resulting in healthy bonuses.
Cons
An increasingly sweat-shop style environment where the gap between senior and middle management grows almost by the day. Current success appears to be built on sand and hiding a multitude of sins. Very good at talking about 'our people', but terrible at delivering the very basic tenements of a happy working environment.
Advice to Management
Take your head out of the sand and stop paying lip service to the increasingly vocal concerns from the 'little people'. Continuing to ask for 'more for less' cannot sustain. You are close to breaking point now and it shows in the quality of people in the business, another year of chasing an unachievable top line at the expense of our people may do irrecoverable damage.

- Low hourly rate

Pros
The other members of staff are lovely and everyone gets along like an extended family, its perfect for students and individuals looking to go retail experience
Cons
The pay isn't great and management do not always treat those in lower job roles with much respect, time off is also difficult to obtain
Advice to Management
Recognise lower members of staff for their efforts and not be quite so cliquey
