Pros

It's a big, successful company. Chances are you will get excellent experience in your field, as well as opportunities to grow and develop. Powerful, brilliant new CEO with a global vision. Buy stock.

Cons

This company was cheap and now it's getting cheaper after the takeover by the UK (Boots). Annual pay raise doesn't even cover inflation or cost of living increases, so it's more like an annual pay cut. They took away all long term incentives and replaced it with a bonus structure worth much less and more easily controlled (decreased). New management has a small company mindset. You will be micro-managed from further up the chain of command than you ever dreamed possible.

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.
