Poor organisation

No communication, slow response to issues and emails, lack of management and concerns never addressed in a respectful way. Extremely stressful and no job security

Dreadful

Office Administrator (Former Employee) - Leeds - 23 March 2023

Poorly ran, appalling communication of business performance and dire office culture leading to low morale. Lots of promises made but fail to happen. Very old fashioned way of working for an online business. Embarrassing Place toWork.

Pros

Ok pay

Friendly place to work

Recruitment Administrator (Former Employee) - Leeds, West Yorkshire - 27 January 2023

Training was great and was able to understand the task of the job with the training provided by the team. Understood what need to be complete first before moving onto other tasks. Management was good. The most enjoyable part of the job was the people that you worked with making it enjoyable to come to work.

Pros

Friendly people, fresh fruit on a wednesday

Cons

car parking, public transport

Made redundant

Health Care Practitioner (Former Employee) - United Kingdom - 23 December 2022

The company employed so many nurses, pharmacists and even GP so they can provide flu jabs, covid vaccines and BP service but once the season for Covid and flu finished they were made redundant so Pharmacy2U is not a reliable company to work for if you have family or mortgage!Very disappointed!

Hello, thankyou for taking the time to leave a review. Unfortunately following a recent review some of our services were closed, which regrettably meant that some redundancies were made. We do wish you all the best for your future employment.

Marshal (Former Employee) - Anywhere - 22 December 2022

Productivity and profit more important that making improvements to fulfil good working environment. Inappropriate equipment and lack of funds for professional cleaning on siteFalse promises of full time contracts knowing full well this would not come to fruition. Betrayal and dishonesty from management. Unqualified taking charge of health professionals Need to be make some drastic changes to compete on the service sector otherwise is prescriptions only for this company

Pros

Not much

Avoid at all costs

Customer Assistant (Former Employee) - Hopeman, Moray - 2 December 2022

If you want to be stressed, depressed and underpaid this is the place to be. Paid unfairly for the work you do. Have to suck up to get anywhere. Guilt tripped into working overtime before a bank holiday. No progression. ‘Clicky’ environment and not felt included. No benefit for working in an harder department

Pros

Non

Cons

Too many

Don't even think about it.

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Leeds - 9 November 2022

I have worked for this company for a while and it is an appalling environment to be in.You will receive little to no support, and any concerns raised were brushed off. The pay is a big joke, and they often force their employees to do overtime.

I’d avoid…

Customer Service Advisor (Current Employee) - Leeds - 9 November 2022

Not enjoying working at pharmacy2u.Interview was easy and they offered me the position only half an hour after I left the interview which should of been a red flag but nonetheless, I accepted the job. Training was fine, could be more in depth, they took too long going over the ‘fluffy’ stuff which is just common sense and not enough time on actually how to do the job, no live call listening on the call floor which would of been beneficial. You’re very much put in the deep end, they only have about 30 customer service advisors for nearly half a million customers!!! So the phone line queue is normally at 100+ customers all day, everyday, waiting to speak to an advisor. They always close the phone lines because we’re too busy so no more customers can join the queue to be able to speak to an advisor. It’s very stressful and pressured because of this, they’re also really strict about the targets, how quickly you take calls, how long you take in after call work etc, you’re constantly getting feedback about things you’ve done ‘wrong’ so it’s a very negative environment, they should just be grateful for the staff that they have rather than picking on the staff for every single, little thing and making you work like robots, call after call after call. They will force you to do overtime as well.

Pros

Free fruit on a Wednesday I guess

Cons

Negative, strict environment, hardly any staff, too busy, stressful and pressured and it’s just boring as well

Thank you for your review. We have grown recently, and as such are seeing a large volume of calls. We have the staff to meet demand, and have just taken on a further cohort today, who, like all our new starters will enter into an intense training programme, to equip them to support our customers. I would be keen to discuss these points with you further - you can email me amy.green@pharmacy2u.co.uk Kind Regards - Amy Recruitment Manager

Wouldn’t touch this place at all

Warehouse Operative (Current Employee) - Leeds - 29 October 2022

Top management are all about taking workers for granted never think of the staff always expecting the workers to work over which they are forced to do they don’t have a choice

Good peers not so good supervisors

Runner/ picker (Former Employee) - Leeds - 25 October 2022

Always short on staff as no one likes to stay for obvious reasons. This means other people have to pick up lots of other jobs, the management are as you would expect, supervisors on the other hand are pretty terrible besides a hand full. Decent enough for a few weeks but not long term or even more than 4-5 months. Oh and they hated giving contacts. The work life balance was horrific I had a better one when I was deployed in a 3rd world country.

Pros

Friendly peers

Cons

Most things

Stressful and under appreciated

Customer Advisor (Former Employee) - Leeds, West Yorkshire - 13 October 2022

You are expected to hit ridiculous targets and there is not a lot of appreciation from management. When they are in need of overtime you are expected to do this, they don’t like the word no. Not very understanding of mental health needs. You definitely do not get paid enough to be spoken to how you do by both staff and customers. Avoid at all costs.

Bad Management

Regional vaccinator (Former Employee) - West Midlands - 28 July 2022

I worked for this company for 10 months vaccinating at various sites. Initially was told that Health Hubs would be opening post vaccinating but this did not happen.The company decided to make redundancies and you had to 'prove your worth' by email, not even face to face. I was one of the first HCP'S to work for them and felt that I was a very good worker but to my shock, I was made redundant. In hindsight, this company does not like anyone that has an opinion and I was not happy to extend my daily commute to more than 4 hrs on top of a 12hr shift, as requested by them. Those staff that said nothing were kept on, there was no compromise.It's a shame as I enjoyed the role even though the pay was not great. They tend to look after the Pharmacists but we're not very good at supporting their HCP'S. No managerial support.

Pros

Nice job

Cons

Long hours, no job security

Terrible company

Deputy Site Manager (Former Employee) - Redcar - 15 May 2022

Too many problems too say. It’s a very stressful company to work for with a high turnover off staff as people leave through poor management or hiring the wrong people and sacking them without saying they’re sacked, they just say you haven’t got any shifts for a few days and never message again.

Pros

None

Cons

Poor pay, lack of organisation, terrible communication

Bad company to work for

Assistant Manager (Former Employee) - Yorkshire and Humberside - 13 May 2022

Good place but...

Management (Former Employee) - Leeds - 8 April 2022

Very good people to work with, nice job but unfortunately management doesn't judge you base on performance but on personal feeling towards you and personal connections....

Pros

Other staff members, top people.

Cons

Lack of any gratitude, angry management...
