Pros

Great pay Great benefits Lots of locations equals minimal commute to work. Management has it figured out and are always open to new ideas. They have an 8 hour work day vs the 12 hour work day of the competition. They pay overtime (ask the competition if they will do that!!!!) The company is branching out in to new areas. The company is still growing even in a tough market. Your day goes quickly..... This is big company and there is job for every personality (you just need to find your happy place) They are always listed as one of the best company's to work for and it shows.

Cons

Its retail and the hours are hard sometimes, especially during holidays. The customers can be really mean, and all you can do is smile about it. You are on your feet non stop,restroom breaks are almost impossible to get, and your to busy for a lunch break. Once again it is retail.

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.
