Holland & Barrett Careers and Employment

Can be very rewarding at times. Company expects a lot from just store colleagues for what they are paid. Very fast paced and lots of training before being allowed on shop floor.

Poor work life balance

Staff are treated as disposable by the higher ups. Very stressful with unreasonable sales targets. Lone working is prevalent which makes for a dangerous work environment in case of shop lifters

Stressful and Exploitive

Impossible to get everything done in working hours. Staff work hours without pay which becomes the norm. Ridiculous expectations. Greedy company who will not employ enough staff. Pressured and stressful. The only good thing was nice colleagues.

Have you ever pushed a sale to a hesitant customer?

Shared on 20 July 2021

A lot of questions are about your personality traits, and why you think you would be good enough for the job. Other questions include scenarios, e.g. if a customer walks into the shop how would you greet them. The interviewer usually wants to get an insight into how you would deal with situations and how you would speak to people.
