Pros

Tons of resources to expand your knowledge in the professional space. There are some extremely bright and friendly individuals with the company as well. They recently rolled out a new maternity/paternity policy that allows mothers to take an additional 8 week leave. And allows fathers to take 8 week leave.

Cons

Annual reviews are kind of a joke. They don’t want anyone falling too far below or too high above the average... which is great for lower performers... but not so much for high performers. Some teams/processes have everyone weighing in on every little detail of a project, which delays launches. And can also make it extremely frustrating completing a project Other teams keep the wrong people in the dark on huge projects that results in a lot of scrambling to meet launches.

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.
