Pros

Salary is at or above par with similar. Benefits are decent.

Cons

All employees are just numbers. The local people care, but higher ups do not. Trying to do more and more with less and less. Seem to be in the same position and doing the same things Eckerd was doing back in 2006. Going downhill with every management shift / buyout. Big promises from upper Management, but the small frys at the local level pay all the price.

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
