Pros

Almost impossible to get fired, pay is decent, benefits are ok.

Cons

Not enough labor, managers have to do everything, inconsistent and unrealistic leaders at the district level and higher, run by terrible senior leadership, poor work schedule provides almost no work/life balance, need to know someone high up or be a “favorite” to advance, don’t value higher education in the store level employees, and worst of all an absolutely terrible program called Frontier.

Pros

High starting salary compared to competitors.

Cons

-No raises the last 2 years for pharmacists. Found out 2 weeks before we got our performance reviews. -Promised bonuses based on metrics for managers was cut in half, 2 weeks notice. -Workload is high and increasing, labor budgets are low and decreasing. -Work life balance is poor, expect to stay hours late just to get the job done. -If in a pharmacy manager role, no options to step down if the job is too much.
