Little value for employees; unreasonable expectations
Pros
Opportunity for college students to make decent money. Some good store managers. Probably wouldn't be a bad company to work for if you work in a slow, low volume store.
Cons
A lot of politics within both district & inter-store management. Would have to drop everything on retail side to assist understaffed & under-trained pharmacy dept. & later stay extra hours to finish assignments or face disciplinary action; however, I still faced disciplinary action for overtime. I was one of the hardest working MGT's in the district & that's the only reason I wasn't fired. Pharmacy staff is generally poorly trained & raise many customer service problems MGT's have to deal with. Corporate management punishes stores that don't meet quotas or customer service statistics by cutting employee hours (mostly pharmacy tech hours), which obviously only makes service & performance even worse. Favoritism is a huge problem; many very good employees have been denied promotions & poor/lazy ones were promoted. Many bad/lazy/unethical employees have not been disciplined due to politics or favoritism.
