Pros

Has good benefits and work is consistent which helps pass the time. Good customer base depending on where the store is located.

Cons

Alot of times I had to close the store at 10:30pm and wouldn't get out until 11 or later. Then I would have to open the store the next morning. Didn't get much sleep and was stretched thin with only 1 employee sometimes and had to manage the entire store. Then they restructured the store and renamed my position only to find out that they were cutting my pay. I was making more money when I first started than I was when I finished 5 years later.

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.
