Rite Aid reviews

Payless used to have a motto " Use common sense and good judgement" Rite Aid's motto must be "Don't think" . (The manager had to go through corporate to get the air conditioning fixed too bad he was"too stupoid to hire someone locally".) We had one terrible manager who was forcing out all the best people. We were able to get him transfered before he could do any more damage to out customer base. Then a new District Manager was transfered in and that manager was reassigned to our store --- 10 months later he was let go for stealing over $10000 out the back door... never prosecuted though and an unsuspecting local company is saddled with him. I was told that they would rehire me at the minimum wage and have to start out with the vacation at one week per year --- at 18 years I had three weeks if vacation a year. I believe that I was the most efficient worker there - certainly more so than the young women who did nothing but flip through magazines at the checkout or chat mindlessly as they were (slowly) putting out freight.

the pay is very low. starting out as a pharmacy tech i only recieved 7.35. as a pharmacy technician you would think that you would at least get eight dollars. out of all the drug stores, cvs, walgreens, duane reade, walmart, rite aid pays the lowest. its such a shame. pharmacy is a career with such huge sucess and with the amount of work that we have to do getting paid so little isn't good enough. plus sometimes you have to eat your lunch while working and standing up. so you may be filling a prescriptions while also eating your lunch. not fun at all especially if you worked an eight hour shift.
