Pros

Pay is good, benefits are good as well. Corporate Campus is easy to get to and the facilities are decent.

Cons

Culture is poor. Mediocrity is the norm. You won't find anyone who'd you want to learn/mentor with. The culture would be the complete opposite of Amazon if you are familiar with their culture. All aspects from technology to culture to management style is 10 years behind other Fortune 500 companies. I would not come here if you're looking to challenge yourself or learn the industry. Being the largest Pharmacy Retailer in the world it would be a good stepping stone should you want to get a large company on your resume. Promotions are almost non-existent unless you apply for a position in another department.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
