Pros

I like the fact that they match your profit sharing percentage, I enjoy working with patients, since I been there they have been working with my school schedule

Cons

Growth opportunities are limited to none, terrible insurance, raises are very few and far between, standing most 7 hours or more a day, hours are continuously cut, techs get treating like peons although we do most of the work, nothing that you do it ever good enough, no company events for store level employees, I can go on and on

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

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.
