Pros

Innovative leader in the industry. Constantly working to change boundaries of business capabilities through adding health services.

Cons

Although all directives are sugar coated as "helping" the customers, its all about bigger and better profits. They have squeezed the staff (both professional and support) so tight that there is no more blood able to come from these stones.....and yet corporate keeps trying. It feels like most of the time profits come WAY before customer service and even safety and employee satisfaction is never considered. All employees are expendable and replaceable.

Pros

Pretty good hourly wage.. but based on cost of living in where you work.

Cons

If you get a busy store you will work harder than you have ever worked in your life.. Lunch? Never! Breaks? Never! Want to stay late to help your fellow pharmacists who are swamped? Sure, no prob. Will you get paid overtime for that? Heck No! I frequently work 10 - 12 hours shifts. Never lunch or even a break.. except to RUN to bathroom and RUN back! Get a job a hospital or somewhere else instead. Yet, I'm glad I have a high paying job!

Pros

I was lucky to work at a store with a great store manager, but the environment that corporate offers to move up through the company is not conducive to positive growth.

Cons

It often does not seem like corporate, and upper level management cares about employees, or will take time to help you if there are issues.
