Pros

Flexible scheduling when fully staffed (managers can be understanding of incorporating school schedules) Hourly rate is fairly decent compared to other part time jobs that you could have Vacation time accumulates over the years and amount of hours worked

Cons

No Sick leave given at just over 20hrs/week Because of pay cuts, hours have been cut back, leaving both the front of the store and the pharmacy short for help Corporate level doesn't seem to understand that it is extremely difficult to continue providing adequate customer service (which they champion) when there aren't enough people to take care of all the customers because hours have been cut Not much room for growth On your feet all day without much time to sit down No bonuses

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.
