Pros

Pay scale is fair Currently not on a timecard system Not overaly micromanaged by managment Location is good-close to home

Cons

Will be switching to timecards in the near future They changed staff from salaery pay to hourley They are changing the way personal training is paid-trainiers will be receiving less per session Benefits are terrible-heath insurance is too expensive and doens't cover enough. "Take Care Clinincs" are free-but there are none in the area.

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.
