Pros

Gave a sense of accomplishment, allowed one to "shine" where other positions are obviously meant for "paycheck collectors", plenty to do, kept busy, enough authority over what you do to give feedback, opinions, and make suggestions

Cons

work load can be a great deal depending on the volume of the store, work extremely closely with management team (this can be good or bad depending on whom you work with on a given day), compensation can be minimal when compared with other positions that do not seem to require as much hard work, yet pay more

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.
