Too little pay

Pros

some room for advancement, retirement benefits, ability to transfer between stores

Cons

wage caps, high turnover, jobs being removed, employees expected to do more work without more pay. I worked there for ten years. Went from photo technician to Store Team Lead. Did more work than assistant managers for way less pay. Transitioned to Senior Pharmacy Technician. Never received promotional pay because "I made too much." Unable to live on the wages I was making. When I was a Store Team Lead I would work until 2 a.m. and be expected back to work in six hours.

Pros

The healthcare benefits are still decent for full time employees. The long term employees are great to work with.

Cons

- Ever increasing workload with decreased pay. -Constant reduction in benefits including PTO time with very little carryover. -bonuses which are supposed to account for the 60-70 hour workweeks are being phased out. -Corporate support is terrible, all new systems such as applicant tracking and Workforce Scheduler are poorly designed and make the job harder not easier. -The culture has declined significantly in the past five years. -Store budgets have been cut severely making taking time off near impossible - CEO is out for himself and continues to strip mine the company for every dollar.
