Pros

Within the store itself I find that the employees want to have a successful store, but being chronically understaffed leads to everyone just doing the minimum. The atmosphere is friendly for the most part and if you have a good relationship with your peers it's easier to find someone to cover in the event of a family emergency or a much needed extra day off.

Cons

Benefits are ok. The uppers put more time and though and money into how to reward hard working people when I'm sure a decent raise would go much farther to reward hard workers. Programs are rolled out with little or no notice and POG revisions often go undone due to not haveing the staff to assign them to or the time to do them yourself. WIth so much that corporate says NEEDS to be done there is always something that should be done that often gets forgotten.

Pros

Employee discount is a generous 20% but, not on sale items. Pharmacy staff are professional and knowledgeable. Work schedule is flexible, for the most part.

Cons

Compensation is way too low considering the amount of responsibility. Amount of raises are pathetic. Catering to customers who think that every prescription is a crisis situation takes a lot of patience! Front end (store) personnel often not available to assist customers, forcing pharmacy staff to exit pharmacy in order to locate store products for customer.

Pros

Constantly improving/updating the Windows-based Pharmacy Dispensing System, NexGen. Decent 401(k) match of 4% on your 5% contribution. Decreased Hours on weekend, basically 9-6 instead of 9 to 9 everywhere else on Saturdays.3 hours is a BIG deal.

Cons

Ridiculous amount of transfer-coupon programs. Here's a $30 gift card, no, let's make that 4-$30 gift cards, and oh, you want me to match Walmart's $4 plan on all 4 of your prescription transfers? Sure, no problem. And which aisle is the KY Jelly in? Seems everything is higher priced, OTC's included, which increases the number of "unpleasant" encounters with the customers. lowered salary and loss of overlap commensurate with shorter open hours.
