Pros

Get your foot in the door for medicine, med school, etc.

Cons

-over worked -only department in the store that gets a 30 minute lunch break (everyone else gets 1 hour) -no room for growth -stressful and hectic with very little to no support or incentive from higher ups -when you do sell a lot of scripts or sale a lot of over the counter products there’s no thanks or reward just more sales :/ -very overwhelming and immediate management (pharmacists) are disorganized - even if you are part time don’t over work yourself with 30+ hrs/wk. they WILL NOT give you the health benefits and incentives

Pros

Good compensation including not just standard pay, but also end of year bonus 80 hours for hourly associates, 8% of your annual earnings granted to you in free company stock thru which quarterly dividends are paid, ok 401k, and gift card and other associate coupons. Good stability and growth. Good company culture.

Cons

Can be slow and resistant to change. Uses some antiquated systems and software that should have been replaced years ago. Does some things that don't make sense. Some managers can be good, while others not very good. Although these cons may be true for a lot of companies. All roads eventually lead to Lakeland where they are headquartered. Geography can be a big one if you are not a Florida native. If you don't want to live in Florida for some legitimate reasons, there can be limited job options in other states, especially if you aren't interested in retail or warehouse jobs. Standard retail negatives about not having a lot of holidays off.
