      Pros

      Inusrance and overtime is still one of the best. If you know how to use it you will be able to make a lot of money

      Cons

      work load is very high and they keep cutting hours this leads to very stressed out workers

        Pros

        - Benefits (profit sharing, etc) - Flexibility with hours (had family crisis come up and was able to deal with it no problem) - Great and friendly customers

        Cons

        - Low pay - No potential for growth - No cost of living raise (minimum wage goes up, new hires make more than you) - High turn over - Profit sharing website was confusing, so 3 years was spent NOT earning my profit sharing benefits

          Better than CVS or Walmart—offering a decent wage and hours plus coverage and overlap is usually good Work life balance Benefits

          Cons

          Pressure to meet KPIs and metrics outweighs employee satisfaction Unprofessionalism amongst management Somewhat difficult to move positions within the company

            Business Outlook

            Pros

            - every day Is different when it comes to working with the public - several different departments - flexible scheduling - managers have an open door policy - for being retail, a lot of challenges are placed on every employee to make goals and complete task lists daily weekly and monthly. This will add to your resume!

            Cons

            -the stores are open 365 days a year (pharmacy hours and availablity vary w/ holidays) - some of the scheduling (nights) is late! For those who do not like to work late -as mentioned above, while this is a retail job,a lot is expected of you. There are busier stores as well. Everyone handles this differently. - Open availability is strongly encouraged.
