Pros

I loved working in the photo department, it was a lot of fun and I always had something to do. My managers were awesome and my co-workers were great to work with. I always had a fun time at work, but I still got my work done.

Cons

Management was good most of the time, sometimes they weren't very clear on specific tasks they wanted me to do, but they were always available if I had any questions. I never liked working as the front cashier. The schedule was written 3 weeks at a time, which made it hard when you needed time off, especially since there were very few employees at my location.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
