Duane Reade – “Good job but horrible pay”

Pros

For full time empoyees you can receive great vacation pay, some managers very understanding about having a personal life. Learn alot about the retail bussiness.

Cons

Even though it is a good job, it is totally not worth working there. The workload is sometimes unbearable for the pay they give. No matter how hard one works you get paid the minuum. I've been working in duane reade for more than 2 years and still i have not recieved a raise for my performance. The only way to make more money would be being promoted to shift leader which mean working for $3 extra an hour and you are doing stock and mangers job.

Advice to Senior Management

Duane Reade should give raises on performance. Managers know the potential we have but cant not give any reward for it because the company itself does not allow it. It has to be more of a place where you go to work and of you work hard enough theres a chance of advancement not just go everyday and slave yourself away for the same pay and samething everyday.
