Pros

Decent competitive pay, Dental and Health insurance, 401k. Some employees are nice to work with. Management usually is eager to help you learn more about the company.

Cons

No personal life! Work odd hours for example 7am-3pm or 3pm-1130pm. Mostly night shifts as an Assistant. The majority of customers are cranky elderly people that are extremely rude. Competition for the next promotion is very high and can lead to backstabbing by other Assistants.

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.
