Good discount scheme Lots of training materials Competitions to be won

Long hours, care more about customers and will belittle you so the customer gets what they want even though you're following policy. Pay is poor, don't consider the stress they put management under until the reach breaking point.area managed only care about their fave managed and stores

Pros

Good staff discounts, the days do go quick cause it's always busy, you get to gain a lot of product knowledge, most of the customers are lovely people who you build a great relationship with and the girls I've worked with have become close friends.

Cons

Short shifts so they don't have to give you a break, ridiculous standards when it comes to selling star buys (perfume). Management are rude and speak to you whatever way you like number of my colleagues are terrified of our manager and have been reduced to tears. Minimum wage pay for sales assistants.

Pros

The discount was good especially on those 20% summer events Some of the people are great, too good for the company imo

Cons

The hours are a joke. Managers get no benefits for their EXCESSIVE overtime. No overtime pay, no days off in lieu nothing! You're expected to work in excess of your hours on a weekly basis. Some managers/peers I've encountered have an autocratic style which does not fit with the "Superdrug way". No work/life balance For your mental health I'd implore you not to waste your time by applying here
