Pros

When I started there, the potential for advancement seemed limitless. I always had the time during work to do any required training, and management was very supportive and respectful of employees, as a general rule.

Cons

During my last year, the company changed. It became harder and harder to find time for required training, and we were all required to do more work on the floor than what some may consider reasonable. They also started up with a sort of "gotcha" policy, where if you made a small error, like leaving an item in the wrong dept., they would take a picture, counsel you on it, and put it in your employee file.

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.
