Pros

The money was pretty good for my first Job out of college. I aced the interview and was offered the job before I graduated from College, it was unexpected but I was so excited I took the job. Learned everything there is to know about retail and how to deal with people face to face and how to get others to follow your directions. It also gave me a very strong work ethic, because there is no way a "Manager can be late or call out EVER" I really needed that experience though.

Cons

THe schedule was miserable especially if you have a family or any kind of social life period. I didn't realize how depressed I was until I found a regular 8-5 job and off on weekends. I feel like I have my life back now. I Never got recognition or praise, was very micro managed and given a list to accomplish every night while running the pharmacy, front of the store and closing the store all by myself. VERY STRESSFUL!!!!!

Pros

Trying out lots of new ideas and evolving strategies. Opportunity to make a positive impact for customers and patients. Can work on projects to support the company internally or externally. Many good employees to work with and plenty of challenges professionally.

Cons

Work life balance is not very balanced. A combination of hard workers and slackers with few employees in between. Shifting priorities and hard to achieve goals with vary levels of support to achieve those goals.
