Pros
None. Seriously: None. Not joking by a long shot.
Cons
Unbelievable turnover as they fail to care at all for their people. Low pay for associates and supervisors. Few FT opportunities. Most front stores running on minimum payroll without flexibility. There will be times when there is one supervisor or manager covering the registers and the floor (no backroom support). Difficult bonus structure to meet with a max of about 12%. I had associates in my store who, before I got there, hadn't gotten a review or raise in years. No training for store managers on pharmacy which accounts for 75% of your business. Area support staff stretched thin so they are of no support. Theft is high especially in stores with liquor. Company is hypocritical. They claim to be all about health when the stopped selling cigarettes, when they still sell liquor and made no profit on cigarettes anyway. Absolutely no work life balance. This isn't your usual over exaggeration. Compared to the other 5 retailers I've worked for this is at least 4 times worst than the worst. No future if you don't have a degree. Unrealistic expectations of productivity on resets and expired products. So much so that one could go in to any store and find several shopping carts of expired products on the floor if you chose to. Terrible shrink mitigation practices. I wouldn't take this job again for 100k. Seriously. Try to avoid if possible. These aren't the rants of someone who was fired. I resigned even though I was in there foundations for leadership to be a DM.
