Pros

The work is pretty straight forward.

Cons

None of the systems Rite Aid has make much sense and instead of working together work completely independent of one another. They pay is bad and raises are very bad. They offer flat raises of 2% a year and never offer raises at any other time. The job is also extremely demanding because stores are almost always understaffed or undertrained because of the minimum wage pay. The company also went into debt and tried to recover some of that debt by cutting store hours by up to 50%.

Pros

Flexible schedule nothing else to report.

Cons

You work at minimum wage even with past work experience and a degree. No scheduled breaks. Pay 15.00 dollars a paycheck to the union, that does nothing but take your money. Open on every holiday even Christmas Day. Zig Zag scheduling where you close then have to open the next day. A regular thing. Skeleton crew, so you have no backup. Called to come in on your days off, since they prefer to hire next to no one. No, help when you ask for it from shift managers who like smoking all their shift. If the holiday is during pay week, your check will be delayed. Many rude customers. Poor software to work with. Registers that are slow and make customers have to swipe for debit insert for credit.
