Pros

All the hours you could want.. But no one will appreciate your loyalty. If you enjoy working long hours with no lunch, breaks, or time to use the restroom this place is for you. You learn great negotiating/begging for raises that don't happen but loom on the horizon perpetually.

Cons

Low comparative pay. Work with undertrained individuals where you get to carry the load and be blamed for all failures.. High employee turnover due to high stress environment with not enough staff for the workload.

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.
