Pros

The prescriptions for employees are excellent prices. And it used to a great place to work now they have you slaving all day and cutting back positions and giving more and more work!

Cons

This company is getting worse and worse as time goes by! When I first started it was a family company and we had great insurance and benefits. Now they have created a huge mess switching to PTO. They took days away from us, the insurance is crap! And all they care about is flu shots, raise, zostavax and just the numbers! They have deviated from being an excellent pharmacy and now patients have to wait in huge lines! They want good customer service but cut back on budget hours! No help!

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.
