Pros

Opportunity to work like a slave in a box without windows. Low salary for work load and responsibility. Multiple exposures to airborn and contact pathogens in a room with no air flow what so ever. Rediculous money spent on promotions no one uses or cares about. Sponsorships of $5000 to 300 little league teams instead of raises or increased staffing...Good Job!

Cons

Began with Take Care before it was sold to Walgreens. Started with production bonuses up to $5000 in 2007, 20% employee discounts, promises of matching 401K, PTO based on 40 hour work week. By 2008 all these perks and promises were gone. Gone also were the Medical Assistants to help us get our "20 min" exams done. So essentially you get to bust your buns for 12 hours without even a potty break. Every promise was broken.

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.
