Pros

The pay is pretty good for mgt,and the bennies are ok as well.The best things about working here are the profit sharing for retirement (matches at $3-$1) and the 7,000+ stores allow you to live anywhere in the country.

Cons

Long hours like most of retail,and the continued cutting of help.How do you run a successful store when you have very little help to do so.Like any company the almighty $ is the most important thing,why do you think they are open on All holidays?

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.
