Pros

Some really competent people work here. Many opportunities for advancement. Old Post Office office space in the Chicago Loop is really nice (can work there even if based in the Deerfield office). Doctor’s office/gym/pharmacy/physical therapist on site at Deerfield HQ.

Cons

Work life balance was very poor. Company keeps trying to cut costs which means they try to do more with less which leads to people working crazy hours. No bonus payout in 2019, 50% bonus payout in 2020 due to company performance (company wide). It’s tough to stick around when the bonus is inconsistent and there are other companies to work for that are consistent with bonuses. Pay in general is lagging behind the current market (as of beginning of 2022). Old school business model and not sure if the management team in place is the right team to right the ship. Atrocious stock performance over the past couple of years, feels like mgmt is grasping at straws trying to get something to stick

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
