Pros

The management respects you as an individual, and not as a number. Full-time employees make almost all their hours. Profit sharing can make you some retirement money. Health benefits are on par with most employers.

Cons

The pay isn't all that great. Promotional monies for service clerks are small compared to those earned by photo specialists and beauty advisors. There isn't enough coverage in every department, especially cosmetics and the pharmacy.

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.
