      Pros

      If you enjoy being on your feet and helping people than this is a great job! No two days are the same. Always busy and as a manager have a real opportunity to train and develop your team.

      Cons

      It is retail remember - so 365 days a year they are open and open longer around the holidays. Again customer service and sometimes you just get angry people just have to brush it off. Dealt with a terrible manager that really never did anything and yet micro managed like CRAZY everyone else.

              Pros

              Management can make and break this job. I was blessed with great managers (Robbie and Patti) and they were wonderful. Only reason I left is because of childcare issues

              Cons

              Low staff. Temp pharmacist that didn’t know their tush from their elbow

                Pros

                One manager was understanding and very nice but I have two supervisors who could care less about you

                Cons

                Working holidays and priorities for supervisor is completely different from employees
