Pros

They feed you sometimes on holidays.

Cons

You are pressured to produce but you are set up for failure from the beginning. Doing better just means you get paid the same as other who do less than you. You won’t be treated like a person just a number. They will hide changes to your schedule for weeks then at the last minute expect you to reorganize your life around work. You will be belittled by upper management. There is not upward growth from the cenfill or microfill jobs. Turnover is constant because they don’t pay as much as the competitors. There is no work life balance

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.
