Pros

I've worked this job for 2 years now, and I can say the coworkers are great, pay is manageable, and hours are pretty good most of the time.

Cons

This is going to be a wall of text, so prepare yourself. Working for this company as my first job has taught me a lot about how to behave in a workplace, however, it's also taught me very much about how not to act. My managers for instance. There were a few cases where miscommunications led them to fire and rehire me twice. Then there was the time one of my managers told me not to help customers because she didn't care about them. Then theres the manager who forgets practically everything within 2 microseconds, so as soon as you are away from a checkstand doing duties, (which managers know about since they carry a daily duties list on them most of the time) she'd be calling you up to the front. Then there's the time you get verbally threatened by one of your managers. If they kept security footage this long, and with audio, you'd see all of it. Now on to my actual list of cons: THIS PLACE HAS ZERO CONSISTENCY; whether it's uniforms, store layout, management, hours, you name it, it's been changed at some point. In my two years of working here, I've not seen one bit of advancement through the company, and I've tried asking around to see if I could get a different position, with absolutely no luck. My pay has not budged since I got here.

Good discounts, a free item every week through the app, hardship fund if approved, option for stocks

Not enough hours/pay to pay bills, odd hours makes it almost impossible to work a 2nd job

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
