Pros

This is a great place to be introduced to pharmacy, and that is all.

Cons

Get your state license, your ptcb, and BOUNCE. You will thank me later! Do Not get suckered in by people liking you or measly 25 c raises. It used to be great, and you were compensated at the end of the year for hard work. Those times are gone. I've worked in every position in this pharmacy. Get your experience and leave

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.
