Pros

Building friendships Learning about the healthcare landscape and how to improve the overall system Was a great company until ....... Stefano Pessina bought it and brought his cronies into the fold.

Cons

You name it and it is bad. Benefits—going downhill Bonuses — payouts stink now Commute — they don’t care where you live vs where you work Promotions—only if you are a female, minority, or a pharmacist. I could go on and on and on

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.
