      If you play their game you'll love it, otherwise you're dog food.

      Pros

      Great Pay for MGT's, Pharm tech's, and Store managers. Flexibility for part time students, people with multiple jobs. Great support in Pharmacy, they really care for their patients.

      Cons

      They don't back their managerial staff on company policy, will write you up, even if you follow their rules. Following company policy to a T is not recommended, they will can you for just doing your job. They move assistant managers from store to store, so you just when you learn your bad customers, you get shipped off to another store, rinse and repeat.

      Their goal is to get everyone on salary and then make them work 50-70 hours per week.

      Pros

      You get to manage a store as if it is your own business. A lot of business decisions are left to you which is perfect if you want to have a direct hand in your store's success (or failure).

      Cons

      Everything is black-and-white with this company. If you manage an under-performing store, the manager gets all the blame, despite the fact that he/she didn't have a choice what store he/she acquired. Besides, many other factors contribute to a store's success or failure. The company does not care about family. I heard upper management (district level and above) say this many times: "if you want to work in retail, that will have to be your priority because most of the time you're working 'odd hours' to accommodate the rest of the population who has that M-F 8-5 shift." In other words, you need to sacrifice your family in order to work in retail, so you can help others enjoy their time with their families.

      Pros

      Great culture in my department. Very focused on working as a team. Also pays very well compared to its competitors.

      Cons

      Hard to get promoted since there are not that many opportunities or positions available. This makes it difficult for an employee to think long term.
