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

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.

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
