Pros

Leadership opportunites exist if you have desire to do so. Great career if you are looking to stay in retail. Teaches you about yourself and who you are and where you want to be. Co-workers become like family because of time spent working together and smaller establishment causing you to be side by side most of the time.

Cons

Terrible hours but thats retail. People ahead of you may not be ready for their position or qualified. Have to put up with a lot of hastey customers, again thats retail.

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.
