Pros

I would not work there again, I do not really have anything positive to say. I worked there for almost seven years and it was horrible. I found my co-workers to be great people, but the job HORRIBLE!!

Cons

Poor management is the most glaring downside. Management is just so ineffective and disorganized. There is no recognition of hard work, and really no incentive to do your job well since management really treats employees as if they are disposable. Working there made me very unhappy. Also, they do not have any sort of discount program for employees who wish to shop there, occasionally they have special promotions where they have a discount however this really should be part of a benefit package!

Pros

Great software system which makes operation (processing/dispensing prescriptions) easy and safe. This is a good place to start and learn about the retail pharmacy industry.

Cons

Not a good place if you're going to stay a technician or a clerk. Pay isn't that great and there's not a lot of room for growth.

Pros

The grocery business is very interesting. It's marketing a commodity that everyone needs and everyone has an opinion about. There's a ton of data and you can put together some very interesting promotions that can measurably change customer behavior.

Cons

Forget advancement if you are a female with children or a male with children you actually like to see on occasion. It doesn't matter how much you do, what your accomplishments are, it matters who you know (or worked with back when you were a boxboy) and how long you stay at the office (face time). People with no education or technical skills who have an outgoing personality and have sucked up to the right people (and hustled when they worked in a store) get the great jobs and the perks, while those with educations and technical skills are set off to the side unless they have a mentor or an advocate. Oh, and co-op funds rule the day.
