Pros

The discount on store items. The company has stores all over the United States, so one could travel virtually anywhere and transfer into another store. They'll hire anyone........

Cons

No respect of store workers. The corporate managers do not understand the needs of store personnel and cut salary & expenses first and quite drastically at times. The new & upcoming initiatives are laughed at by store employees becasue we are all overwhelmed, all the time. Not fairly compensated, no raise, in the stores at least, is based on merit?

Pros

Great Advancement, Promotions actually seems to be done on merit system. Pay is decent, definitely good for retail industry.

Cons

Managers, especially EXA's, are worked like dogs. 6 day weeks are extremely common (unpaid overtime because were salaried), which really is not fair considering the education requirements and compensation. work life balance is essentially non-existent.

Pros

The best reasons are if you are a pharmacist....they get paid well.. Rx techs have decent schedules and the Pharmacy staff is respected as a whole.

Cons

The company is like two companies in one......a pharmacy and a 7/11. If you work in the pharmacy it is a great career...if you work on the 7/11 side you get hour cuts and every time upper management changes anything your job gets harder, more stressful, and more time consuming than before. Completely opposite of how it should be.
