Pros

The customers! The ability to give customers a clean, friendly and comforting place to shop. Of course like any company were there to make money, were over worked and under paied but were there for the love of the job and being able to help people in time of need. personally i enjoy being able to go home every day and know that i was able to help someone, even if it were to help an elderely citizen to there car, help calm a child while the parent shops or help save someone money when they have little to spend. So with me and my rite aid its personal.

Cons

lack of help to do the things we are there to do and things that we have to accomplish.

Rite Aid does not care about employees

Pharmacy intern

Pros

They offer some benefits unlike the rest of the industry which doesn't offer any benefits to part time workers.

Cons

They can cut your hours at any time. They constantly think employees are stealing and the camaras are always pointed toward employees instead of the real thieves. They do not give salary increases when they should and don't really care about their employees. The company will constantly send these so called health insurance packages that cost $50 a week in pay check deductions, not to mention the $20 copayments. $100 per paycheck deduction is a hefty amount for someone making 7 or 8 dollars an hour.

Could be a better place to work.

Pros

Rite Aid has a great benefits package an is always adding to that. Pay is okay and I am able to direct my store to a degree as I would my own.

Cons

Rite Aid is too paperwork heavy. Everything one does must be documented on computer and a hard copy and then reported to an upper level management person in the form of checklists. I spend more time verifying work done then I do in doing the work. And as with many companies these days one must do more all the time with less help. Payroll constrictions make very little sense.
