Pros

Great pay-but be prepared to work your butt off and have no family time. I worked 65 plus hours a week and was let go because of an hour discrepancy.

Cons

There is no ethics or morality in this market.........hard work,dedication and loyalty to the company mean nothing.......too many cliques. Budget cut backs only hurt customer service....you can't service your customers when you don't have any help on the floor or the store manager is back in the pharmacy helping because they are short-handed. They expect you do something with nothing.Numbers, Numbers, Numbers.......that's all they are interested in.

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.
