Pros

The pay isn't too too horrible for what you do.VERY appreciative of the sick time and vac and the benifits are"Ok". Most of the employees and some management are awesome to work with

Cons

You are stuck doing someone else's job ALL the time and the person who WAS suppose to do it never gets yelled at MANY employees sit in the office or break room for 2-3 hours a day...walk around on their phones buy like me for example,NEVER take breaks but get bitched out cause I didn't get 20% redzone Customers are sooooo rude There is wayyyy too much dissrespect and talking behind eachothers back

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.
