Pros
Okay pay though not as much as cvs in my area. 401k is pretty good, though like all the other benefits, not as good as it used to be. Don't have to say "be well" anymore!
Cons
Nights, weekends, holidays... You'll work them all - upper management will send you a letter thanking you for your dedication for working on Christmas even though you were required to. They expect you to build your life around their open 24/7 schedule but are not willing to negotiate to help you. I asked for my hours to be reduced and was told I would have to go back to floating rather than just give up 1 shift per week. Every year they push back pay raises. This year we got a "bonus" that didn't even equal a day's pay after taxes were taken out as an apology for no raise. Training of new technicians is almost nonexistent. Unless you are working with a tech that had a lot of experience, good luck. Having someone click through a bunch of online modules that are severely outdated does not constitute training. The only way to move stores is to threaten to quit. Or at least that has been my experience. They like to place pharmacists at a store far from their home. It's crazy how many stores everyone passes on their way to work. It's like they don't care about that at all. They also don't care about inclement weather. Be it snow or ice you better get your store open so that the one customer who didn't plan ahead can get their cialis.
