Pros

Good travel expenses if your travelling to different stores. Really lovely staff most of the time. Approachable area managers.

Cons

Absolutely zero care for employees! Literally none, there's no drive to look after anyone who runs the company ie the staff! It's so profit driven it's impossible to focus on patients, but then again that's what community pharmacy has turned into. Every single pharmacist I have become close enough to has told me they hate it and would quit immediately of it wasn't for financial responsibility. Low staff obviously so pharmacists tend to spend half the day checking prescriptions like a robot the other half selling shampoo and a fraction of the time talking to actual patients as it's just too busy and understaffed! Im honestly depressed in the role. Avoid it if you can or do it for a bit of experience and then leave that's what sensible pharmacists tend to do.
