Pros

*Flexible in scheduling- good for college students. *Opportunity for growth within the store *Good benefits (health, dental, profit sharing etc) *Have heard that it is better than work for than CVS from my co-worker

Cons

*They continue to cut hours even though increasing their demands from staff (vaccinations for rphs, even without an extra rph to handle flow in busier stores, etc.), freak out over overtime. *Many managers in my new district seem to create policy whenever they want. *Promoting people who were continually written up for being late, etc. and who don't do a good job and overseeing several people who should have been promoted. *My new district supervising staff is not very supportive of family issues. Oh and so I don't get FIRED...the words I've posted do not represent the views of my company (and yeah, there's a company policy on blogs, online postings, etc....)

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

The starting pay rate is better than compared to the other competitive. There is a good friendly culture inside the company, but I realize this truly depends on where you work.

Cons

The hourly rate increases each year by very small amount, like 20 cents. No matter how good your pharmacist/manager have rated your annual performance. The critics you also input won’t seem to matter in the long run.
