Pros

flexibility was nice when there were enough employees working. loved being apart of a team when others did as well, and appreciated the friendly customers that came and made my day

Cons

unfortunately many people didn't want o be part of the team atmosphere. Management definitely had favorites and if your werent one of them, you would have to consistently work hard to even be noticed. The place i worked for had a lot of opportunity if management would just listen to there employees instead of just sucking up to there corporate bosses. because of this there was an extremely high turnover rate. 16 people either quit or were fired since i worked for these guys. sad because a lot of the employees that quit were long time. they had worked there 3 or more years. another negative was because of the high turnover there wasnt enough experienced technicians to help customers.

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.
