Pros

The employees work hard, profit sharing is great (3 to 1 matching on first 2%), and you can work anywhere in the country (if you're store level)

Cons

Salary is not great, work-life balance is terrible: you're expected to work whenever needed, 6am to 10pm. Difficult to have a regular schedule. Management doesn't really care what the employees think. Equipment is antiquated.

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.
