Pros

They offer competitive salary and the usual benefits for a drug store chain. Front store manage ment can really make things work smoothly freeing you to focus on the prescriptions, if they are good.

Cons

The worst computer system I have ever seen to fill prescriptions. I can't imagine that anyone could come up with a worse system. I'm not sure that anyone in mgt ever even looked at it before they deployed it. Very likely to be in Chapter 11 soon-the company shows all the signs of this.

Pros

I have the greatest employees in the world. The customers are pretty awesome too. Sometimes it's the little things that make your day.

Cons

This new change in the low volume stores folks, now tell me was there a definitive date on written documentation on when this was to occur?? All I know was at the meeting I attended, amidst the confusion by the DM's presenting it and not being able to fully answer questions effectively, I received one handout. On that handout showed no effective start date for hourly change. On that handout, if any of you managers looked at the fine print comparison chart, showed a difference is the Short Term and Long Term disability points. Hey guys, don't have surgery, have a baby,etc. If you do, plan on not getting paid for a week! 1 week waiting period (just like your full time hourly cashiers). What makes the manager down the road who is not a low volume store have better benefits than me?? especially when he/she is less than adequate to run a higher volume store. Why should 1 manager get 100% of his/her 'salary' for the first pay and 75% thereafter vs. another who on their first two weeks of LOA only receive 1 week pay at 75%??? And there's no time and 1/2 factored in of that 45 hours. or 90 hours for the following pay. Sound like more lawsuits to me? How can upper mgmt. throw this at some 1750 management associates? Hello... we're still running your stores! Again executives, what makes the manager down the road who runs a higher volume store have better STD/LTD benefits than me? If you or one of your own had surgery, had to go on LOA and receive only a one week paycheck, you'd see things in a different light.
