Pros

Great opportunities for hourlies Stable schedule for warehouse

Cons

Was one of only two people that had a college degree even though when they posted jobs for advancement they wanted a degreed person for level they were at without having one. Very political in upper management at the warehouse. Benefits have gone downhill to where they have done away with things like company picnic and the christmas gift certificate. Also the profit sharing has gone from being number 1 to very low.

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.
