Pros

The compensation was fair. The work environment itself was for the most part cleanly and reasonable.

Cons

The hours of retail management are awful but you know that going into it. The company is so focused on the pharmacy and their staff that you begin to feel like you are just an extra. As a result of the size of the physical store itself you only have a few employees on each shift which means you end up doing a lot of the grunt work. There were days were I got paid just to be a 'stock boy.'

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.
