Pros

Usually flexible about days off/time of day you can work, though that all depends on your Store manager. I had a positive experience with all of my immediate coworkers.

Cons

The management above store level is in the business of finding scapegoats not solutions to problems. The pay is bad.

Pros

My co-workers are great and a lot of the regular customers are nice. They are the only reasons I stay.

Cons

HA...where to begin? Everyone makes different pay - employees there for more than 20 yrs make the same or less than new hires.... The amount of things management expects store personnel to do increases weekly while our hours go down. Stores end up fudging results just to look good, but the stores who are honest end up looking bad. Rite Aid spends too much money on whimsical programs instead of giving it to their employees who deserve it. Take ten...come on....nobody does this. How many millions did they spend on staffworks only to replace it a few years later with something else? Corporate has their heads in the ozone (from sitting on their fat wallets) and doesnt know what it really takes to work a store every day. Pharmacy has become nothing but a business to them. We are no longer health care. Doctors offices dont match prices from the dr down the street. They dont give out coupons for credit toward the next patient visit. They dont promise the patient will be seen in 15 minutes or less. Why do we as Rite Aid Pharmacists have to work under those coniditons? Each rx is a person's life, but we are graded on whether we have it ready in 15 minutes or less!!! Also 1 tech hour for every 10 rxs filled is an antiquated number. Consider 5 phone lines, a drop off counter, a pick up counter, 2 drive thru lanes, in store customers wanting advice, insurance issues which have quadrupled in the past couple years, counseling, and filling rxs.....seriously??? No way is that enough help. Accuracy is being compromised to meet payroll. That is not how I want any health care provider of mine to operate!
