Pros

Pretty good hourly wage.. but based on cost of living in where you work.

Cons

If you get a busy store you will work harder than you have ever worked in your life.. Lunch? Never! Breaks? Never! Want to stay late to help your fellow pharmacists who are swamped? Sure, no prob. Will you get paid overtime for that? Heck No! I frequently work 10 - 12 hours shifts. Never lunch or even a break.. except to RUN to bathroom and RUN back! Get a job a hospital or somewhere else instead. Yet, I'm glad I have a high paying job!

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
