Pros

1. Flexible work schedule for part-time employees

Cons

1. Will terminate you during your probation period without any warning. 2. Will make you feel like you are doing a good job and blindside you. 3. Pay is minimum wage, but they take so much stuff out of your paycheck that you can't opt-out of. For example, they had me sign an agreement and fill out a form for $1,000 in life insurance even though my religion advises against life insurance, I was unable to opt out. 4. location I worked at was very clique-y even though during my interview the manager said she advised against that, she was all talk and very passive. 5. Pharmacy manager was biased. 6. Pharmacy manager never met issues head-on, she instead is an "under the table" kind of person who was very low-key about everything. When she wasn't happy with the possibility of another pharmacy technician transferring to another location she was very passive aggressive to her. The manager will make you think she's nice, until she's somehow not.

Pros

Fun Job. Time flies when working. Learn new skills.

Cons

Management does NOT care about you only the work you do. You will be overworked and underpaid. Very little training and they expect you to know everything within a couple weeks. Managers are lazy and will put their work on you! Work place is full of drama and creepy people that HR looks the other way because of 'popularity'. This is not the only location with problems the whole company is a mess. Constantly switching out district managers. Ops were horrible, they would come boss everyone around to try to make the shop look perfect in 1 shift, often making a lot of people miss their breaks and work overtime. Frozen loads and products would go to waste due to miscommunication between managers and no one seemed to ever want to fix any problems. Extremely low morale and high turnover. Stay far away from this place unless you're really sure you're only staying a while.
