      Current Employee - Agency Attorney I 

      I have been working at Boots full-time for more than 3 years

      Pros

      Huge company so multiple people to turn to for support. Someone will always have an answer and never feel alone

      Cons

      The way they negotiate salary is wrong - huge salary offered to externals to entice people to join but nothing offered to loyal employees and not willing to negotiate salary 90% of time. Very pushy on business targets almost to the point of putting patient safety at risk
