Pros

close to home, they are willing to give you the days off you need, they try.

Cons

There is some kind of weird communication thing they don't tell you about. I don't know if they want you to ask more about the job your doing, or maybe just guess at it. They don't give you a lot of information about anything, your job, how to do it, when you get pay raises. It's that way in all the departments. Everyone feels the same, lost what is expected of them.

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.
