Pros

The pharmacy was a great place to work. I was lucky enough to be hired by a pharmacy that had a great pharmacy manager, and was relatively normal work pace. We all worked as a team to get to our goal, and I made some good friends along the way while also leaving a positive impact on the patients.

Cons

Be ready to work. This job is not for someone who likes to put in half an effort. Most days I worked past the time I was supposed to get off. Some patients were disrespectful and unappreciative. This job requires someone who can take criticism respectfully and be open minded to the challenges.

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.
