Pros

great pay, great benefits (especially 401K and stock options), excellent technology (especially Rx processing software, best in business in my opinion), well trained techs

Cons

no seniority in regards to weekends/ nights/ holidays (you work them even if with the company 20 years), often reduced to glorified cashier, little time to counsel, no lunch breaks, health insurance could be better, personal growth is stifled (crawl/walk/ run corporate mentality).

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
