Pros

Working with some nice people in the stores

Cons

A incompetent Dm that is clueless in how to treat people and communicate with anyone under the Store Manager Level. Making someone choose between a sick family member and keeping his position becaue I couldn't work an unscheduled 6th day. Then when complaining to HR he denies saying it and blames the store manager. The DM position should be a retail person from the front of the store not a pharmacist that is clueless to the real world of retail.

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.
