Pros

As far as the store I am in there are a lot of good things. The management team is fair and tries to support you with what ever you have going on. We are a family in this store.

Cons

Management above the store manager and beyond all the way to corporate give the impression that they have not the slghtest idea of what is really going on in the real world. They do not back any of their employees when it comes to unruly customers or customers who are outright cheating. They expect us to work with inferior equipment and then wonder why some things don't get done.Instead of going out and buying two bankrupt companies they should have used that money to upgrade equipment and stores. Now they are insulting our intelligents by issuing signs and photos on how to bag merchandise and how to unload a truck. Give me a break, I have been in retail for 30 years and have learned this stuff already. How much did that cost the company and what efficiancy expert did they pay for that.?

Pros

I have the greatest employees in the world. The customers are pretty awesome too. Sometimes it's the little things that make your day.

Cons

This new change in the low volume stores folks, now tell me was there a definitive date on written documentation on when this was to occur?? All I know was at the meeting I attended, amidst the confusion by the DM's presenting it and not being able to fully answer questions effectively, I received one handout. On that handout showed no effective start date for hourly change. On that handout, if any of you managers looked at the fine print comparison chart, showed a difference is the Short Term and Long Term disability points. Hey guys, don't have surgery, have a baby,etc. If you do, plan on not getting paid for a week! 1 week waiting period (just like your full time hourly cashiers). What makes the manager down the road who is not a low volume store have better benefits than me?? especially when he/she is less than adequate to run a higher volume store. Why should 1 manager get 100% of his/her 'salary' for the first pay and 75% thereafter vs. another who on their first two weeks of LOA only receive 1 week pay at 75%??? And there's no time and 1/2 factored in of that 45 hours. or 90 hours for the following pay. Sound like more lawsuits to me? How can upper mgmt. throw this at some 1750 management associates? Hello... we're still running your stores! Again executives, what makes the manager down the road who runs a higher volume store have better STD/LTD benefits than me? If you or one of your own had surgery, had to go on LOA and receive only a one week paycheck, you'd see things in a different light.

Pros

They have a very laid back work environment or atleast from what i have experienced. The pay is also very good.

Cons

The major bad side to working for rite aid would be the management. Most of the higer ups have no people skills at all.
