Pros

-Very multicultural company -Potential to work with great co-workers

Cons

-Caproate has no idea what it's like in the stores, as a result caproate always has some stupid program they want executed -The company does not pay. No body is paid anything close to a decent wage. I know some Pharmacists that make $50k a year (and that's whit having a professional degree). -Not much room for promotion past the Shift Lead position. Once you've become a Shift Lead, you've reached the mountain top. -The company does not want any high paying positions, as a result RXOM and ESM is artificially kept low on purpose (especially ESM). Meaning only two-four ESM's per district (an ESM means Emerging Store Manager). -The Board of Directors and the CEO care nothing for the employees at the store level. They pretend they do, but actions speak louder than fake social media posts.

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.
