Pros

Ummmm? Maybe the pay at one time, but see cons.

Cons

This used to be a great company to work for. They were considered to be the leader in the industry. But ever since the Boots merger it has gone down hill fast! They love to talk out of both side of their mouth. You're held accountable for things you have no power to change. They want to take the focus off the pharmacy and put it on BEAUTY! We are a DRUG STORE! They have no regard for employee's well being. The real red flag is that they are not fixing broken equipment. That always spells trouble when a company tries to save money by not maintaining their stores. They have put all pharmacist salary increases on indefinite hold, but they've got to pay for those Rite Aid stores somehow, right?

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.
