Pros

You get a lot of technician help and most of the technicians are younger so they are faster and can read small handwriting better. Also centralized data entry and centralized pharmacist data review is VERY helpful (when it works).

Cons

The computer system is the WORST I've ever worked with, and I've worked with several different software systems for several companies throughout college. Very slow and COBs are the worst. Also, if you're a floater, depending on how large your district is, they could be sending you an hour away, and you don't get compensated for the first 50 miles one way. Also, there will be no more raises for pharmacists, so there's that.

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.
