Pros

You get to train and obtain your pharmacy license while working. Most locations have amazing staff that will allow you to go on your pace while training and allows you to ask many questions if needed, very hands on job if you like fast paced learning.

Cons

Pay isn't the highest when it comes to yearly raises, Hours is also another thing that is very 50/50. During flu, fall/winter seasons your store will be given more hours VS the summer/spring your store will have limited hours.

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.
