Pros

Large company experience may help when searching for a better job.

Cons

The UX manager for the Deerfield group is the worst I've ever encountered. Doesn't know the basic principles of UX Design or how to manage people or projects. Projects go nowhere. Poor team environment. Pay is very low and office location is far from everything, compared to other UX jobs. Anyone with UX experience will get much higher pay, better benefits and have a better experience at another company.

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.
