Pros

I learned a lot about the dispensing and inventory management.

Cons

Often working short staffed. Not much support from Corporate level, who were out of touch with reality. Unbearable work load with not enough help. they supposedly offer raises but make them virtually impossible to grasp. as a member of management, there was no home-work balance. i was expected to work overtime, no extra pay, and just "get my time back" later which I never was able to do.

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.
