Pros

Great benefits, 4% match on retirement and 4% match end of year student loan payment match. $10,000 for Adoption and health, dental, vision. If you work for a great team the work day can be fun and quick.

Cons

1% raise increase and a company that's making bad choices across the board is starting to run itself to the ground. When they start pushing for answering phones (which are never ending) over filling the 200+ prescriptions that need to be filled there's something wrong there. Corporate only cares about their metrics and not the hard on the ground facts of daily pharmacy work.

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.
