Pros

The work is simple enough and time seems to go by pretty fast. The pay is pretty great considering the amount of work. If you've got a positive attitude, things can be pretty fun. Getting hours is fairly simple as long as you act positive and work hard.

Cons

Most customers are rude and don't give a crap about you even though you try to care about them. Although there are the regular customers that are really cool. Work is pure maintenance of the store and nothing new ever happens. It's really easy to get bored, but management will harp on you if you're not doing anything. Store moral is often low. Management is constantly getting moved around between the stores so you constantly have to get used to new people. There are too many restrictions between management and service clerks building relationships.

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.
