Pros

The learning environment and potential for advancement. Depending on what store you can actually feel like family where you work.

Cons

Not enough man hours/budget. Hiring just at minimum wage gets you minimum efforts from lower team members and very hard to weed them out. Too much to do in too little time. Constant restructuring as of late, with not enough feedback from upper management. Swing shifts and being transferred every 7 months to a year isn't ideal. Making me interview twice for my current position was unnecessary and slightly demeaning.

Pros

Available OT, friendly coworkers, great location in SF. Fairly easy pharmacy computer operating system. No drive through pharmacies in SF as well.

Cons

Corporate initiatives and metrics, constant pressure from management to perform non-essential tasks. Company seems to put profits over consumer safety

Pros

Got to work with a great Retail company. Pay above average in market I was living in.

Cons

Too many mergers with larger companies creating Vendor distrust and management chaos over the years. Mid-level management turnover was chaotic. Upper level management never knew who there next boss was, therefore was unreliable and untrustworthy. Walgreens recently sold this company which says a lot about future profitability. Makes you wonder whether the whole Employer based health clinic as a future after Obama Care. Fortune 500 companies probably wondering if there is a cheaper, better system to manage their employees health care needs.
