Pros

Rite Aid is a nationwide company with many stores located in the eastern coast and western coast. Good for those who might want to move around

Cons

Management is very unorganized, in order to get something done, one might need to contact three or four individual to find the person that know what to do

Pros

I have been a Store Manager for more than 5 years. I like the atmosphere of the stores. Its a very small, everyone knows everyone work environment. Being the manager, I shape the attitude of my store, and, being that I have less than 20 employees, everyone knows each other very well and works with everyone on a very close, personal level. The company is finally taking a step in the right direction in regards to operations. (except that i do only have 2 front end cash registers now, that sort of puts "3 in line, its time" out the door). but overall, things are finally being evaluated at a store level. Hopefully, things will keep turning around!

Cons

50 hours a week, closing 2 nights a week, rotating weekends with the assistant manager? not possible... sorry.. there needs to be at least one front end management member with a stable schedule, in order to make a "stable" work environment within the store, especially in a 7-midnight store. the closing 2 nights a week makes it nearly impossible for closing shift followed by opening shift every week. The employee focus needs to be evaluated. turnover rate is extremely high, and if rite aid is going to be a local neighborhood caring pharmacy, familiar faces would be nice to see. 0 vacation 1st year, 1 week year 1-3, 2 weeks 3-7, 3 weeks after year 8. not very appealing in any industry. annual reviews? how about quarterly reviews? and a 3% raise for hourly employees annually? 8 bucks an hour with a 3% raise? 24 cent raise in a year? thats hard enough to give to an employee, let along to be on the recieving end of it. I'd like to see some comparisons with other companies in the industry, and see how we stack up. our stock share definately isnt stacking up right now, so i'm assuming the rest will follow suit?

Pros

Lower RX count than other pharmacies in the area. Reasonable pay. While my manager is not the best, my distrcit manager is more than competent.

Cons

Long shifts (13 hours at my store), poor management (varies from store to store). Havent heard much work for pay increase or bonus. Mayb follow up soon after yearly evaluation.
