Pros

The health benefits are good (not great). Good retirement compensation plan, but it used to be better. Don't do large volumes of Rx's. Max is 300 per day in almost any pharmcacy.

Cons

Too much micromanagement going on. Management does not take feedback from employees. Everything is about the bottom line. Always pushing to do anything to make more $. Worst pharmacy technology out of all big chain pharmacies. This means that the employees have to do a lot of meaningless work. Too much retail management involved in pharmacy. They know nothing about what goes on in a pharmacy. They should be required to go to pharmacy school prior to putting in any opinions.
