Pros

Takes a lot to get fired. I did work at a nice store, i loved the people there but the company just wasn't worth it

Cons

Customer is ALWAYS right (Expect to apologize for the company but not be able to do anything about it. They wont back you up.), for a business that's in healthcare they don't care about your health at all, if you don't have coverage and are drowning they don't care, the rewards you do get are usually just the cash rewards so you still have to spend it at a store, at a job where I do 65% of what I did before I get $22 starting whereas I was only making $23 after 6 years at walgreens (I know I'm more experienced now but there are people I work with who have only been in pharmacy for a year and make that here and have the same job title), you are constantly reminded that you are replaceable and made to feel worthless.

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.
