Pros

The people are very nice and respectful and very helpful should you need help. The other employees are very friendly and it is a very low stress job. I recommend this job to anyone. The cashier job isn't the best job, but photo specialist is a great position and the learning curve is very low. The pay is competitive and the customers rarely have complaints, if you are capable of completing your job.

Cons

Not very many, there is not a ton of room for advancement, unless you want to be a manager.

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.
