Pros

This would be a great start for those looking for their first job, and those who are still in high school or freshman year of college. It offers ok pay and decent positions but a hell of a lot of work.

Cons

The road to advancing in this particular retail store is a long one for no reason, you can be the most dedicated and hard working individual that has been there for two years and they still wouldn't recognize you even if you along raised their sales by 5%.

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.
