Pros

Great Pay for MGT's, Pharm tech's, and Store managers. Flexibility for part time students, people with multiple jobs. Great support in Pharmacy, they really care for their patients.

Cons

They don't back their managerial staff on company policy, will write you up, even if you follow their rules. Following company policy to a T is not recommended, they will can you for just doing your job. They move assistant managers from store to store, so you just when you learn your bad customers, you get shipped off to another store, rinse and repeat.

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.
