Pros

Very lenient. Almost too lenient because it gave me a false impression of how friendly people are in the workplace. But they were very flexible with my hours and scheduling which was very nice.

Cons

They were too lenient when people were late or even didnt show up at all. As someone who arrived to work on time and early, it was frustrating to see others not meet these expectations and appear to receive no punishment.

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.
