Pros

Decent hourly wage Job is extremely easy- though your boss and corporate will treat you so badly that even the easiest of jobs becomes terrible and difficult

Cons

Extremely abusive and toxic work environment HR department is best buddies with the boss and will not take ANY allegations seriously, even with documented proof Will fire employees who stand up for themselves or treat you so badly you are forced to quit Will scream at you constantly over tiny things Boss and all people in positions of power barely know how to do their jobs and abuse their power constantly Impossible to get a raise, even after years your hourly wages will barely budge No employee appreciation, will buy you disgusting premade cookies from Safeway and think that’s enough Disregards and attempts to violate PTO and FMLA laws Job destroyed my mental health Most walk outs and employees quitting in quick succession that I have ever experienced at any job- people will literally take pay cuts and go back to awful, abusive, underpaying pharmacy retail jobs just to get out of here

Pros

MOST of the tech team. Order entry team. Staff pharmacists on the floor were ok.

Cons

Pharmacists in charge are not good management, hours suck. Morning shifts are basically only for management and force full-time employees to do all closing shifts. Changing into a 24-hour pharmacy is the worst decision ever. Management are all best friends and don't care too much about employees as well as upper management. Also, one of the techs was an absolute nuisance. Always reporting co-workers for the smallest things and contacting HR. They ruined the pharmacy team and they were never fired.
