      Rite Aid Has Potential But Has a Long Way to Go.

      Pros

      The best reason to work at Rite Aid is the opportunity to learn about retail in all its various aspects, from cashiering to marketing to merchandising and so forth. It is very rare to see every aspect of retail in a big box setting but Rite Aid gives almost every employee an opportunity to learn. Managers are moved around almost continuously so there is ample opportunity to learn in many different settings and with many different management styles. Rite Aid also provides good training for new managers .

      Cons

      Salaried management is expected to work at least 50 hours per week (and it is usually considerably more than that). There is a great deal of stress working for a company that is years away from profitability. Store level management is caught in the middle - catching flack from customers, associates and upper management. Rite Aid is open most holidays and some NEVER close. Assistant Managers are NOT part of the bonus program and are generally treated poorly - doing the same work as Store Managers but are paid a lot less and not sharing in the profitability of the store.

      It all depends on the store.

      Pros

      Flexable Schedule, good store manager at least in my store... I really think it is hit or miss depending on which store you work in. one of the only reasons i havent jumped ship to a competitor is that I have been at this store for so long I know many of the customers by name. so I guess it just depends on which store you work at.

      Cons

      Compensation is low compared to competitors... associates of all levels are excessively micro-managed. If you are a member of management you will be called to the front nearly every two minuites as rite aid requires a managers approval for virtually everything on the register. They would rather make a customer wait than trust a cashier to void a 59 cent candy bar
