Pros
Money, but taking "orders" from someone that maybe has a high school degree, doesn't know the law, doesn't understand pharmacology or care about patient's health, and is only worried about the bottum line has a way of fast making this a con.
Cons
Store manager should spend more time supporting the pharmacy, according to the stats 70% or more of the revenue is generated by this "department". After all, Store Managers have giant bonuses to protect (which calculates to 10-20 times more than the Pharmacy Manager), which if anyone is checking my math brings a Store Manager's gross salary (maybe, a high school diploma) to the same or higher gross salary than a licensed Pharmacist and Pharmacy Manager (which minimally has 6 to 10 years of college education, including additional advanced degree work.) A little reminder, you need a licensed pharmacist to operate a legal pharmacy. Technicians can be incredibly valuable and cost effective members to a smooth running pharmacy operation, but are not legally essential. The pharmacist's job is not just throwing tablets in a vial, staring at a computer, and making telephone calls. Anyone working for this company ignorant enough to promote these stereotypes really has no business entering a pharmacy. Being questioned by management about patient care by someone with no healthcare background is shocking, my trying to explain( from pharmacology, law, ethics perspectives) why a pharmacist's decision should not be over ridden by them, and don't get me started about Management, NOT ME, repeatedly violating patient's HIPPA rights.
