Pros

Honestly can't really think of any

Cons

Very nasty customers. Management can't manage. Overloaded with tasks with no increase in pay. Many tasks are over complicated for a absolutely no reason at all. Low pay Corporate is an absolute pain, all they care about is implementing new programs or ways of doing things that further slow down the process of filling a prescription. Something that should be rather simple. They care a lot about numbers, even down to how many seconds it takes to answer a call. Keep in mind the techs have a million other things to do and don't always have time. Stay away if you value you're mental health.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
