Category Assistant Review

Category assistant for Own brand and Boots brand and exclusives. setting up promotions for saleplan, completing tasks for the bran team, reporting on sales figures. interactions between the wider team are carried out daily to talk and understand what they need/want. ensuring salesplan deadlines are met, talking and presenting back to the wider team how our section of the business is doing.

developed my people and interaction skills, working with people that know the business inside out. as we progress through the programme im sure i will gain many new skills including that of wanting to improve confident through presenting ideas back to a large group.

the programme stretches your potential to which ive found that i've become more aware of how to present myself at work. i've seen myself becoming more independent - not relying on people to tell me what to do. i'm enjoying the programme fully which i can see why so many people would love such a big opportunity.

people are aware of the programme which makes our role much easier. they understand what is expected of us and are giving us all the support we need to progress through the company. so far ive felt valued by every colleague ive come across on my journey.

so far everything has been structured and easy to follow, we know what is expected of us and the programme to which deadlines are already in place for certain studying aspects.

they have not hesitated to make us feel welcome always inviting us to have a chat or just to see how things are going in your new role.

training days are well organized to support our roles and to progress your basic skills, they want us to feel comfortable to which i believe the support given is to a very high standard.

very happy with salary and all the benefits.

events and activities are encouraged at boots to which there is always something to help out with and pop along to. supplier samples are often given to local charities which they appreciate greatly.

Yes

for such an established company they make you feel so welcome and recognized from being such a small member of their brand.

Be open minded, if you do get given a place and its not what you would of hoped for; any role at boots will give you the opportunity to grow and progress through your journey. Boots with support you in anything you wish to foresee in your career pathway.
