Rite Aid reviews

There is never enough people working. Most nights there is just a cashier and a manager Hours will get cut drastically seasonally It is all about the customer. 100% about customer, 0% about employee. It doesn't matter if you get a complaint what it was about, the customer is always right. I do not feel as a company that they value their employees enough. Also, customers can earn the employee discount by earning 1,000 points on their wellness card. If they are able to earn the employee discount, then they should raise the discount for the employees. Hard to advance. Basically you are an associate, shift supervisor, or manager. (This is not including the pharmacy, just the front end). And they like to hire people outside of the company for the higher positions rather than promote within. The pay is minimum wage. You do get raises but they are only once a year. For everything they make their employees do I feel we deserve a higher pay rate than that.

Way too much work heaped upon store associates. This is the nature of retail but some stores are being run with such little payroll, store managers are running the register and are in the stores by themselves for hours almost daily. They treat all of the front end staff as expendible but pharmacy staff (techs included) can get away with just short of murder before they are even spoken to. Most pharmacists are just mercenaries. They don't give a darn about the customers, they are just there for a paycheck. Problem with this is: If they keep pissing off the customers, you get blamed and lose your sales and bonus. DM's have favorites as in most companies but, all too often they are some of the poorest managers and associates but keep their jobs because the DM likes them.
