Pros

management is paid well. Profit sharing is great. Thats about it.

Cons

Every year they want more and more with less and less. Less payroll, more work, better service, etc etc. If you have no life outside of work, this is the job for you. If you have a family, good luck!

Pros

Good technology, the processing system is the best and constantly evolving. A lot of good people work for the company. Good money but not great, and you work for it.

Cons

Effective training is nonexistent. It always gets down to on-the-job. Older stores are in wretched shape-- after a few years the facilities are ghetto. Every communication from management, no matter how nicely the words say it, boils down to four things: 1. Do more 2. Do it faster 3. Do it with less help and 4. Do it perfectly because you might kill someone. Finally, pharmacists should never, ever have to answer to a non-pharmacist regarding the pharmacist's professional judgment.

Pros

It has good benefits, and the salary is good. They actually do promote from within. If you're not lazy or dumb you can usually move up at least a step or two.

Cons

they work you HARD. Work is almost always a zoo, and now they're talking about cutting hours even more.
