The Pharmacy (and very likely the Grocery Department as well) jobs are low-paying. The store I work at loses so many people that in the one year I have been there, I have worked with 7 different people. The high stress due the fact that the pharmacy I work in is rarely fully staffed makes matters worse and has been the kicker for the majority of the people who have left. Although anecdotal, Brookshire's seems to be the lowest paying of all the chain pharmacies within my location. The area I work in has very demanding customers. Their demands are usually non-sensical and when trying to express to them the fault in their perception they get angry and call upper management just so they can hear the same thing but from another person's mouth (who apparently has some magical power to make people understand after they repeat what I had just said to the customer). When you have a drug-addict infested town such as the one I work in, the customers really just wear you out. Honestly, pharmacy is a job very hard to like when you have all of these negatives. The company also offers very little support when facing dilemmas regarding customers. Recently they stopped offering any benefits or raises every 6 months to until the employee has reached a year of working. Very little advancement, in general, is available within the company. The company has also become notorious for making long time employees resign from a position since they have reached a certain amount of benefits that cost the company "too much" to have them on board (meanwhile the company has been buying out other stores and developing their Pharmacy services). The company itself is pretty corrupt and makes me dislike it even more.
