Don't work here if you want a life - Anonymous employee Superdrug Employee Review

Pay is terrible!! Even if you worked over 20 hours you barely get £100. Constantly phoned by management at early hours on your day off to ask if you can cover. There is too much pressure to sell Starbuys and register beauty cards with absolutely no incentive and if you don't meet their unrealistically high target then you get negative talks by management. Management aren't organised at all the rotas are a mess and you never know what shift you're working as they change it daily this makes planning a life impossible as you end up coming into work on the wrong days as they never give you an updated version of the weekly rota. If you work any overtime sometimes they don't pay you for this overtime. Constantly short staffed usually one person is left on tills for 4 hours straight as the team leaders and managers are useless at rotating. The team leaders all have this attitude of entitlement and constantly look down on everyone else, they never go on tills as they feel it's beneath them only if an assistant manager asks them to. Team leaders are rude and create bad atmosphere feels very threatening and almost bullying. When you don't meet their targets of for example registering 20 cards EVERYDAY then you are taken to the office to have a "talk" so basically a bollocking even though you ask every customer. Weekends are the worst as nobody wants to work Sunday so they make the same people work EVERY Sunday as they don't complain and they only get half an hour break for working over 8 hours legally it should be an hour. Honestly never ever work here!
