Pros

As a part-time worker as a technician i was given access to profit sharing as well as a week of vacation days for one year of employment, 2 weeks for 2 years, etc... Overall, everyone is pretty friendly, do your work and do it well and management wont have any gripes with you.

Cons

Working on holidays is never fun, but as long as they do a fair job of divying things up it is ok. It almost seems like you could do anything there and still keep your job. There have been employees that have used over 50 sick days in a year and not recieve any disciplinary action.

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.
