Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I spend most of my day working directly with customers, helping them with Cosmetics. I also put out delivery on the Cosmetics aisle and spend an hour or 2 on the tills.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I like helping people with thinks like make-up and skincare and I enjoy them and like to share tips and products I love. I sometimes feel like there's more focus on things I haven't done than the positive things I have achieved but this isn't too common.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have really developed my social skills in being able to deal with questions and approach customers. I have also developed practical skills within the job such as being more active in delegating my time between service and a task.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
I have a well structured programme and always feel prepared for my tasks.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I receive a lot of support from different places within the company
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
I receive complete support from my training provider, and they are always available if I need help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
It helps me with most aspects of my role, however there are some things that can only be learnt practically.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
There aren't any extra curricular activities that I'm aware of

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Superdrug to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I enjoy working at Superdrug as I believe it to be a friendly working environment and a nice way to understand peoples wants and needs when shopping.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Superdrug?
I would say that there can be a lot of pressure over personal scores and targets which can be demoralising if they aren't what is expected, but you have to try your best as that is all you can do, and not get too weighed down by it.
