Pros
The co-workers I have dealt with over the years have provided much joy. Some degree of flexibility in scheduling is a plus along with the chance to have alternating weekends off.
Cons
Maybe because of the Company's financial condition things always seem to be presented to us at store level as a problem or crisis. Never hear much of anything positive from above--but I guess this is the nature of Management. From an employment standpoint low wages seem to prevail at store level outside the pharmacy; with meager if any raises the norm. Much is expected while incentives of a tangible nature are not offered. Currently Assistant Mgrs are being laid off or being forced to take huge salary cuts in the lower volume stores while Store Managers in those locals are being made hourly employees. With no information forthcoming from the Corporation to the stores, rumors are now rampant about what may be in store for the rest of us. Meanwhile inventory levels are being cut in the DC's and the stores resulting in an unacceptable amounts of out of stock items, which naturally is the Store Managers fault.
