As far as retail pharmacies go, Wal-Mart should be ranked at the top

Pharmacist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pharmacists get a true lunch break and are allowed to close the pharmacy for 30 min each day. The technology used is top of the line however having internet access would be a very beneficial resource. Having no drive-thru window is such a perk. Medicine is not fast food and should not be treated as such.

Cons

The $4 generic program has increased prescription volume but decreased revenue so inturn the workload is more but the budget has not increased enough to allow for additional help. More work + same number staff = long waits, dissatisfied customers, and disgruntled pharmacy employees

Good place to work if you can tolerate the attitude of customers and managers.

Pros

they are flexible with your schedule, but you have to make sure you make it clear what hours you are willing to work, because once you put in your availability it takes atleast 3 weeks for them to approve it, and after you change it, they will cut your hours in half, to show you that they are ticked off at you.

Cons

Some of the managment are very hateful towards you because of the stress of their job. Im sorry but no matter how stressful your job is, does not give you the right to take it out on your employees.

Pros

Flexible Schedule and you could take time off even if you didnt have vacation time left.

Cons

Not really any room for advancement unless you want to go into managment. They didnt really show any other areas of the company for a college graduate.
