Pros

-Weekday Lunch breaks with RPh overlap and closing pharmacy on single pharmacist days guarantees lunch break. -Rarely single pharmacist days of >8 hrs. -Pay about $0.40 per mile for floating to store other than your home store, also shortens your shift if you have a commute greater than 45 min. (E.g. One hour commute one-way knocks 30 min off your shift) -Provided face masks early in the pandemic so they seem to care -tech pay at slightly higher than average for industry (at least in my region) attracts arguably higher quality talent -Robust Third party help desk for claims assistance -Clinical Key (reference database) access on internal computers

Cons

-Certain benefits have disappeared over the past 5 years as the company has pushed to be competitive with the industry, like quarterly profit sharing -same push for metrics and immunizations as major chains. Lagging behind major chains by a few years though so that means they're probably aping strategies. -Drive thru

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
