Pros

Alot of good honest hard working people in the DC's and RFC's. Getting paid for lunch is always nice. In my 12 years with the company I was fortunate enough to learn many jobs and work with some great personality's.

Cons

Unfortunately with all the good honest hard working people there are lazy people that do little and get the same hourly pay as you. Hard work rarely gets you anywhere. With layoff's many people's lives have been altered for the worse as they may have to change job positions and or shifts.

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.
