Pros

You are given some of the best technology to help you with your job. Support personnel are given opportunities to elevate their knowledge base in the pharmacy. This helps to free the pharmacist up for more clinical tasks and patient interaction.

Cons

Key performance indicators are sometimes given too much consideration. Supervisors can fail to take specific points for a store into consideration when offering improvement points. This can damage staff morale, and create a an antagonistic environment.

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.
