It all depends on the store.

Shift supervisor

Pros

Flexable Schedule, good store manager at least in my store... I really think it is hit or miss depending on which store you work in. one of the only reasons i havent jumped ship to a competitor is that I have been at this store for so long I know many of the customers by name. so I guess it just depends on which store you work at.

Cons

Compensation is low compared to competitors... associates of all levels are excessively micro-managed. If you are a member of management you will be called to the front nearly every two minuites as rite aid requires a managers approval for virtually everything on the register. They would rather make a customer wait than trust a cashier to void a 59 cent candy bar

Pros

Supervisor values time off when requested and does the best he can handling mutiple vacation request or emergency request. I have not had any issues getting time off in short instances. I feel like the company values my opinons however they do not utilize feedback generated from the field despite what upper management claims.

Cons

Staffing issues. Techs are paid minimal for the services they provide. A result of this is constant turn over and underqualfied or inexperienced techs. Once time has been utilized to provide better training and experience is gained, most employees move to a competitor for increased pay

Better hiring and management practice are sorely needed.

Pros

The location and proximity to my home is one reason. Other reasons are this: getting to know your customers as most people are regulars and by getting to know their names helps their health. The software for dispensing is easy and user friendly. Salary and benefits are compareable to others in the field.

Cons

Mid level management is poor to bad at the levels above store management. The lack of hours for the technicians is insufficient for the number of prescriptions filled. There is too much gossip in some stores. What bugs me the most is the way infomation is dissemenated and by keeping people out of the loop. These are just a few reasons.
