Pros

Staff discount, Friendly colleagues, Superdrug live radio in store to try and keep spirits up.

Cons

Expected to work very long days everyday with no time given back and with little or no breaks. All management seem to do this and I was belittled for going home after a 9 hour shift with no lunch break being told "It's alright for some". In my first week I was not given a rota and worked in 3 stores, No opportunity to plan my life. First day consisted of 8 hours training on an Ipad and that was about it. Company seem to appoint young managers with no family responsibilities so they can work ridiculous hours. Stock system is a joke, Deliveries usually consist of stock that isn't needed and has to be stored in a very small warehouse. Absolutely no "Superdrug Feeling"
