Pros

You can work while in college. Your co-workers are generally nice people. The work itself is extremely easy.

Cons

The salary and benefits are not good. The work is easy but the customers make your life absolutely miserable, and of course, the customer is always right- even when they threaten you with violence or shower you with obscenities and insults because their insurance company doesn't cover their medication. The store management has no real training. The company seems to not want to make the investment. Pharmacists who are not able to handle the volume of work in their stores. This is a problem in many stores. If you ever have to work in a store other than your own, or have a covering (floating) Pharmacist come into your store, it is horrible to have to take the abuse of customers because the Pharmacist is slow and sloppy.

Pros

Learn about drugs, causes and effects. Learn generic-brand names. Understand Insurance processing. Job may be significant upon individual. One has freedom within the workplace, as to make decisions and problem resolution. Interact with patients. Benefits are okay.

Cons

Varies from store to store. Low pay, hours vary weekly. Tasks and responsibilities are overwhelming. Must be done in a timely manner as well as filling prescriptions. Cvs system is good, but too slow.

Pros

-work under clinical guidelines and professional collaborating physicians -upper management is respectful, but lacks vision/direction - the patients appreciate the NP's being there for them - fair CME comp

Cons

- hourly pay not really commisurate with job expectations - constantly decreasing clinic hours of operation (harder to make full time hours) and clinics are constantly opening, then closing down with sudden staff layoffs. happens in cycles. - a mere 30 hours/week is considered "full time" so most NP's have another part time job on the side to make up for lost hours; we used to have 12 hour shifts years ago which was more feasable. -NO paid holidays off (unless you work the actual holiday) - NO sick days whatsoever (it comes out of your PTO days!) -only 40 hours of unused PTO rolls over into the next year (includes sick days); use it or lose it - if you're too sick to come into work, manager makes you find your own coverage ; no one helps you find someone to work for you. You have to call your roster of fellow NP's while sick in bed if people can't cover, guess who has to work sick? -if you need time off you have to go through the same roster of calls and beg coworkers to cover your shift(s) - you get paid a couple dollars an hour for being "on call"; you're only paid for 2-3 hours while your entire day is on hold. -NP's have to market their own clinic "door to door" and make cold calls to local businesses; no marketing department leading that. NP's with medical degrees must do it. - it is normal to travel an hour or more to your regular clinic or staff meetings; they do not take where you live into account, despite what they may say at the interview.
