Pros

-Employee Discount. -thankful only to a couple of hidden references that help me get to where (different company) I am today, God bless you guys!!!

Cons

-No Job Outlook, no room to grow and no job opportunities. -Manager stub their noses at people that are interested in promotion. -Promote monkeys to management positions. -Let technicians evaluate pharmacists (techs get away destroying reputation due to jealously). -store managers are only certified technicians and not pharmacists...yet they control the pharmacists with the licenses. -break rules (let their kids run around in the pharmacy...board violation). -No living costs raises. -hard, diligent work is not honored, never "good enough." -customers are always right, even when their opioids are too early or fake Rx are given out, store manager still caters to their corrupt customers.

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.
