Pros

They offer a good benefits package. Good 401k program. Locations all over the country which allows for transfer opportunities when moving.

Cons

Work conditions have deteriorated in the last 10 years. People, in many position levels, seem to be focused on saying the right things in order to be liked by higher ups and regarded as “part of the team”... once you’re not regarded as such, it’s over for you, you are now on the “must get rid of” list. This is how the focus on “saying the right things” is perpetuated. So the motto is, do not disagree with anything and make it sound and look like you’re going after the results they want you to get, whether they are attainable or not...

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
