Pros

If you enjoy working with people and you like the retail setting then this place is for you

Cons

Management has gotten worse over the years.. insurance is costly and is lacking every year . To get the best coverage you have to pretty much mortgage a house. Supervisors and managers have favorites and if you are not it then watch out . Very disappointed with the lack of assistance from the Managment team. Constantly cutting hours and they expect the same level of dispensing in 15 minutes which at some busy stores is beyond not possible without compromising patient safety.

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.
