Pros

They worked with my school schedule and allowed me to “float” at locations near campus while at school then return to my “home” store on breaks.

Cons

Treatment of store employees by corporate and often even store management has been on a steep decline during my 10 years there. If you don’t prove yourself to be invaluable, you will be treated poorly. If you do, they will take advantage and demand you make a lot of sacrifices to work for them.

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.
