Pros

You can earn a paycheck other than that there really aren't many good reasons to work there

Cons

management is paid for 45 hrs week but must (mandatory) work 50+ hrs instead. The corporate office is constantly relating to individual stores how poorly we are performing due to the ridiculously unrealistic standards it sets for nit picky tasks to be done on daily basis that has little to do w/ being profitable at store level

Pros

Commitment to improving the work experience here for all Employees. They have really invested in showing associates they are appreciated by reducing the cost of generic prescription drugs for Employees. They have invested in ample opportunities for employees to train and get certifications -- even in fields that unrelated to their own. You can download all types of courses, books and training materials (some from some of the latest bestselling business leaders). You can do this at work or from home, or from any computer!

Cons

Lately there has been a perfect storm of events that have hit the company hard (just like most other companies). Some trimming of staff positions has been unavoidable. Having just completed a huge integration/Merger with Brooks/Eckerd at the same time that the economy has taken this downturn has made bouncing back a real challenge. But, they recognize that the satisfied employees are one of the keys to satisfied customers, which in turn is key to improving sales. Step by step, they are working on that very thing.

Pros

Within the store itself I find that the employees want to have a successful store, but being chronically understaffed leads to everyone just doing the minimum. The atmosphere is friendly for the most part and if you have a good relationship with your peers it's easier to find someone to cover in the event of a family emergency or a much needed extra day off.

Cons

Benefits are ok. The uppers put more time and though and money into how to reward hard working people when I'm sure a decent raise would go much farther to reward hard workers. Programs are rolled out with little or no notice and POG revisions often go undone due to not haveing the staff to assign them to or the time to do them yourself. WIth so much that corporate says NEEDS to be done there is always something that should be done that often gets forgotten.
