Pros

Benefits are nice. The job is simple. Coming from a tech background I found most of the work common sense. If you can plug a cord into the wall then you're qualified.

Cons

Team work and quality is lacking and tons of work being outsourced. Raises are slower than snails pace.

Pros

Great people, fast paced inviroment.

Cons

Trying to move up when there are no positions ever available sucks. Hard to find management positions. If you want to stay at the bottom this is the place for you. In this district anyway.

Pros

Other Pharmacists very supportive. Work together... Decent profit sharing and 401k, national company so opportunities to move/transfer.

Cons

Restructuring made it possible for non-pharmacists to be the district managers, aka- the direct bosses of pharmacists. They have never worked in a pharmacy full time, therefore dont understand the workflow, and the importance of some issues over others. Harder for them to empathize metrics when they dont realize how well, or poorly, they fit into the operations of the pharmacy. They also cut pharmacist hours accross the board, limiting overlap in busy stores, putting more pressure on the staff to perform, while maintaining high standards of customer care.
