Pros

I have enjoyed working for this company as it offers many benefits due to its large size and many years of success.

Cons

There is tons of corporate micro-managing. Many rules and policies in the pharmacy that take away the free will of the technician to use their own judgement and experience. As the years go on, the company seems to take away emphasis on the importance of the individual employee. The work environment is becoming more difficult/stressful, and perks/benefits are slowly being diminished. Hours, staffing, and resources are continually decreased.

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.
