1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

Simple shop work you'd expect in Boots such as cleaning the store up, restocking and serving customers.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

It obviously helped a little with my retail experience but I was put on the placement to learn more about working in a pharmacy which never really happened.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

It was nice to have a good team to work with in general but again the people I was supposed to be working under didn't really want me around and saw me as more of a nuisance than anything else which was unfortunate

4. How valued do you feel by Boots?

In general the manager was really happy with me and the work I did so I felt very valuable to them at the time

5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

Not at all as I was supposed to be working with the pharmacy and not in the retail part which was promised until my second day where they became "too busy" to have me around or show me anything
