Pros

Flexible scheduling. If given reasonable notice they'll accommodate you.

Cons

I don't know if this true of all locations. But after you're hired you're informed of the following additional task: Cosmetics Dept is responsible for cleaning the restroom, including the toilet bowels: Photo Dept. is responsible for bringing in the garbage from the parking lots, and mopping the floors, Front register has to vacuum the front of the store.

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.
