Pros

The location and proximity to my home is one reason. Other reasons are this: getting to know your customers as most people are regulars and by getting to know their names helps their health. The software for dispensing is easy and user friendly. Salary and benefits are compareable to others in the field.

Cons

Mid level management is poor to bad at the levels above store management. The lack of hours for the technicians is insufficient for the number of prescriptions filled. There is too much gossip in some stores. What bugs me the most is the way infomation is dissemenated and by keeping people out of the loop. These are just a few reasons.

Pros

Rite Aid has a great benefits package an is always adding to that. Pay is okay and I am able to direct my store to a degree as I would my own.

Cons

Rite Aid is too paperwork heavy. Everything one does must be documented on computer and a hard copy and then reported to an upper level management person in the form of checklists. I spend more time verifying work done then I do in doing the work. And as with many companies these days one must do more all the time with less help. Payroll constrictions make very little sense.

Pros

Good pay. Room for advancement. Lots of locations. High turnover in store level management so if you want your own store you can get it pretty easily.

Cons

Varies greatly from store to store. Union hourly employees in my area. Hard to work with payroll. District management is lacking sometimes. Working at a drugstore the pharmacy is all that matters and the front end gets crapped on. If the pharmacy wants one of the front end employees they get them. When employees complain about the pharmacy you tell them I'll talk them thembut in reality you have no authority to do anything about the pharmacy.
