Pros

I enjoyed the team I worked with. I learned so much and appreciated the work-life balance. My peers and direct leaders were awesome.

Cons

Expensive health insurance. Low pay compared to industry standards. Company ruined its relationships with big clients and lost them so they were forced to downsize and cut hundreds of employees. Overall the company lacks communication with employees and customers. Not great room for advancement. Little to no recognition from leaders. CEO hides and doesn’t care about his employees.

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.
