Pros

There are many different departments if you would like variety in your career. They are not afraid to try a new line of business to keep the selections fresh. Stores are top of the line, very innovative and fresh. Back end corporate work - stale, need upgrades to IT.

Cons

Not the best at providing direction from upper management. They want to, but just struggle to communicate downstream...

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.
