Pros

Less corporate than working for a place like Walgreens - pharmacy is not open 24 hours, coworkers were easy to work with/for.

Cons

Less than stellar pay, no employee discount besides once quarterly 10% off, can not work over 30 hours because they do not want to give part timer's benefits. 25 cent raise every year - thought I was being way underpaid based on local discussions with competitors such as Walgreens - even though Walgreens is definitely worse to work for. Still very corporate as rules are handed down from the top to the store managers to the pharmacy managers that just make no logistical sense to the pharmacy so you can tell that they really have no clue about the overall operations.

Pros

I really enjoyed my coworkers and the management of the store. There were a handful of people who worked there at the time who weren't necessarily my favorite, but overall the team was good.

Cons

There we no significant cons. The pay is not the highest, but these are mainly entry level jobs.

Pros

I loved the company and the pay.

Cons

The management was not so great. The lead was very vulgar and used language to the employees that should never have been used.
