Fun place to work but poor pay
Pharmacy Dispenser (Former Employee) - London, Greater London - 22 September 2023
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedPay is very poor not enough for your hard work in a very busy pharmacy. Only good thing is you have a nice and supportive colleagues but the management and the pay is not good.

Used to be good
Pharmacist (Former Employee) - Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear - 20 September 2023
Used to be good with trainings, and decent staffing levels, but has since gone downhill. Majority of the pharmacies have been sold after being taken over by new management.

Toxic workplace
Pharmacy Dispenser (Former Employee) - Bridport - 5 September 2023
• The most toxic place I've ever worked. • Low skill low pay job. • The worst management I've ever encountered. Lloyd's Pharmacy is quite frankly the worst job I've ever had. Incredibly toxic atmosphere, the people who work there are unskilled and unkind. The management is the worst I've ever seen. Avoid. Low pay, low skilled job with no career opportunities and an awful workplace culture.
Pros
None.
Cons
Everything, especially the toxicity.

Exhausting & deflating
Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Storrington - 4 September 2023
What is the best part of working at the company? There is nothing good about working for Lloyds, they have no concern for the amount of pressure they put their staff under, with unrealistic targets & deadlines. What is the most stressful part about working at the company? You have no back up from area managers or higher up bodies. You are left to be worked to the bone for a pittance of pay. What is the work environment and culture like at the company? Due to the extensive work load you are inundated with every day, the morale is very low. What is a typical day like for you at the company? Full on from when the doors open to when they close, very very busy

Disorganised
Pharmacist (Former Employee) - Buckinghamshire - 29 August 2023
Dreadful! They don’t care about the people working for them, they don’t pay properly, don’t answer emails. Just a terrible company to work for! Such a shame!

Productive and well trained
Pharmacy Dispenser (Former Employee) - Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire - 22 August 2023
It was my first job as a pharmacy dispenser and I learned a lot. I worked within a great team, and had amazing support in my learning process. Most of the time we were understaffed and that made it a bit challanging, but per total it was a nice experience.

Dispensing hospital prescriptions, using advanced maths and science. Staff overworked, overlooked and under appreciated. Lack of career progression within the company but does provide possible progression into the hospital.

Interesting job
Cons
No support from management

Organization
Relief Pharmacist (Current Employee) - Leeds, West Yorkshire - 5 August 2023
This company was good 15 years ago with more than 20 branches in Leeds. Than management has gone worse and worse leading to a closing down all branches. The new compass system (LS) they got last year is very complicated and slow, so it is very time consuming.

Okay
Care Assistant (Former Employee) - Bristol - 1 August 2023
Not the worst company to work for but equally far from the best. Decent culture but also a lack of support from management. Pay decent for the level of work expected.

High workload
Dispenser Assistant (Former Employee) - Chesterfield, Derbyshire - 31 July 2023
High workload and lower pay, it depends on who you work with as to whether you enjoy the job. Was options for extra training to advance- moved from counter assistant to dispensing assistant quickly.

Depends on your manager
Pharmacy Dispenser (Former Employee) - Glasgow, Glasgow - 30 July 2023
Been with the company less than two years and it is coming to an end thankfully. It was promising in the beginning but over last six months it’s turned into chaos. I would NOT recommend working with this company unless you thrive in turbulent environments with no communication from head office.
Pros
Colleagues you meet can be wonderful
Cons
Poor salary

Staff make the job
Dispensing Assistant (Former Employee) - Swadlincote, Derbyshire - 25 July 2023
No training due to no staff. Small friendly team that was the highlight of the job. If the time for training was given would of been a great place to grow
