Pros

Great pay and benefits. If you do your job, the DM will leave you alone. Ability to delegate work to allow you to focus on the vision you want your store to take. You had better have a competent knowledge of pharmacy operations if you want to be successful. Company's focus on specialty drugs for the future is a great direction for the future of pharmacy.

Cons

Company's DNA has gone from employee focused to stockholder focused. Upper management no longer concerned with hourly employee welfare. Budget cuts have hampered ability to delegate work. Technology used in store systems is 25 years old and is a patchwork of fixes. Systems are unstable, unreliable and crash often causing major headaches. POWER and CCR are programs that need to be shut down before they drive off all of the customers.
