Pros

For a Pharmacist, the pay is decent of course. Experiences vary store to store of course, so you really never know what your going to get. My location was very good compared to horror stories I have heard of other locations, but this is only because I stood up for what I believed was fair, which differed greatly from what upper management imposes.

Cons

Lack of technician help, poor treatment of technicians therefore leading to high turnover of tech help. No training for new hires, you have to train by yourself. They don't want to pay techs much at all, so good luck finding good help to hire and when you do, good luck keeping that help for more than 1 year or maybe 2 at most, when they leave for greener pastures and you start the whole searching and training process over again. As a pharmacy intern and graduate pharmacist I wasn't even formally trained, they just shove you in a store and expect you to figure it out. Upper Management is demeaning and condescending, as well as completely clueless. They cut tech budgets constantly and actually threaten you and want you to work alone. Stores are messy and they remodel them, but they only remodel the parts the customer can see, so that should tell you everything there. Associate satisfaction survey they put out is a lie, it is not confidential and they actually bully you into giving them high scores, even though they know everyone is miserable. They do not take the advice for improvement that you ask for.
