Pros

The job itself is easy. Cashiering is basic. Stocking is easy. Good co-workers.

Cons

Difficult customers are the worst part of this job. You deal with rude people all day, they will be upset because of pharmacy, prices, coupons not working, or just come and take their anger out on you. Next is the workload. The job itself is easy, but having to be the cashier, while working photo and stocking your area at the same time is challenging. Also you have to clean the bathrooms and since it’s public it’s gross. If you don’t finish your work or are slow, you get told you will be in trouble by management constantly.

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.
