Good work culture
Pharmacist (Current Employee) - South East - 22 June 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedIt's always busy everyday from open til close, even when we close for lunch time. working environment is good, colleagues are supportive, bonus is VERY good. The number is script is DOUBLED in a few years but number of staff still remain the same and more services and targets for the public are asked by the company. No replacement of staff since the nomad lady left, because they won't offer anymore than minimum wage.

Good place
Pharmaceutical Assistant/Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Custom House Station - 22 July 2022
Did work experience and the management were really welcoming and friendly. They encouraged me to step out if my comfort zone and allowed me to engage in new and unfamiliar experiences.

Awful company
Pharmacy Assistant (Former Employee) - Merseyside - 17 July 2022
Money grabbing and badly structured. Don’t care about how their staff live just want sign ups of new patients however they can get them. Management are that backwards they spread rumours shop to shop to see how scared they can make their teams about their jobs.
Pros
if you’re pretty you might get to go to a conference
Cons
Everything

work wasnt too bad. the environment was
Retail Apprentice (Former Employee) - London - 22 June 2022
management was horrible. gossip deteriorated my mental health. constant eyes on me i felt uncomfortable going to work. i would be ridiculed on doing the things i was taught by the management. i didn't mind the work. It was just too much stress on and pressure on being perfect. such a great opportunity for me but i had to quit. very strict.

Pay is to low
Pharmacy Dispenser (Current Employee) - Essex - 15 June 2022
Earn more working in a supermarket. To little pay for the amount of work expected. Other than that very good company. Bonus goes down every year. The pay rises are a few pennys more if your lucky.

Learned a lot
Dispensary Assistant-Technician (Former Employee) - London - 3 May 2022
Not good paying but it’s a good experience to build up your knowledge and experience ….. However over the time I’ve felt that I’m just doing the same thing and it became a bit boring for me

Great for progressing but stressful
Relief pharmacy assistant (Former Employee) - Southampton - 26 April 2022
Always willing to progress your career and move you up through the qualifications but most shops are understaffed and in disarray. Constantly behind, lack of a regular pharmacist meaning constantly playing catch up and walking into a mess

Bad management

Nice branch
Dispensing Assistant (Current Employee) - West Yorkshire - 13 February 2022
I worked in a good branch but other shops are always behind on work and are always asking for staff. Wage is shocking and they care more about profit than patients. Most colleges are nice but there is a lot of gossip and telltale’s.
Pros
Conference 30% staff discount Progression but only in branch
Cons
Minimum pay Long hours 9am-6pm Expect too much Hounding about targets

Busy but friendly
Pharmacy Manager/Accuracy Checking Technician (Current Employee) - Wellswood, Devon - 7 December 2021
These are very busy pharmacies and most of the time you are left to the day to day activities with not much support from senior management, it seems the more you can do, the more is expected of you and you don’t often get to do your job role. It is what you make of it and can be a lovely place to work.
Pros
Not too strict
Cons
Lots of training

Fast-paced but challenging, and no time to slack off.
Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Croydon, Greater London - 24 August 2021
A typical day would involve arriving for your shift, being advised what the priority tasks were for the day, and then starting the work. There was a break after a couple of hours, and then if the first task had been completed you would be asked to help out with anything else that needed to be done. Lunch was usually a couple of hours after the first break, and there was another short break before the evening shift. Once all the daily tasks had been completed, you were at liberty to sign off for the day.
Pros
Onsite canteen
Cons
Repetitive work.

Horrible place to work
Pharmacy Advisor (Former Employee) - Eastbourne, East Sussex - 2 December 2020
If you don't fit in you'r out they run a bully system if management doesn't like you they find any reason to sack you. Worst I've ever worked for steer clear.!!!!!!! If your liked one member of staff continually says 'love you' it's pathetic. Customers are all lovely just a shame about the staff who also tell lies about you in order to get you fired. 😟😖☹☹☹☹☹☹☹☹🤪🤪🤪😠😬😬😬💀☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Pros
Nothing
Cons
Bully culture

Well
Pharmacy technician (ACT) (Former Employee) - London - 31 October 2020
Never any staff to cover holidays Expected to do the work of 2-3people with no praise. Unrealistic bonus scheme almost impossible to achieve. If you want to be in pharmacy to make money then a perfecy place. If your in pharmacy to help people and make a difference dnt bother.
Pros
Family ethos
Cons
Low wage
