Pros

Easy to get hired, mindless tasks that a monkey could complete. Great way to earn 7.50 an hour and throw your youth away

Cons

Cold and brooding management does not provide any useful feedback but instead will suggest that you continue to "look busy" even when working as a cashier. If you are checking customers out at the register that is your primary job, you cant shuffle the gum around to make it seem like you are doing more than you are. Management also will not recognize when you provide outstanding customer service/aid a customer above and beyond but instead will come at you telling you to go down the deodorant isle and "face" the products or tilt them so the label faces the aisles.

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.
