Pros

I gained experience in insurance while working here.

Cons

Hours cut, no clear communication, lack of organization, and very hostile environment. Very disorganized, with no clear communication. They over hired so they cut everyone’s hours. They fired me after have a face to face meeting with me guaranteeing I would have a job. I am over 5 months pregnant and they would embarrass me about having to use the restroom. They made it very clear that even though we are a pharmacy they did not care about their employees health. They are rude as well if your ever talking to someone above you they will interrupt you mid sentence and act like it’s your fault.

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.
