Pros
it was a fun atmosphere, great coworkers. overall it was a great experience. worked alongside a lot of other head office people.
Cons
construction sometimes didn't hand over the store to us when promised so it made setting up the store to be ready at store opening difficult at times.

Pros
The people you work with are in the same predicament as you. Working here is marginally better than being unemployed.
Cons
You will work many hours that you don't get paid for. The company will lie to you about just about everything.

Pros
Average wage for industry. Good benefits and work environment.
Cons
High Workload, pay does not justify the stress.
Advice to Management
Instead of cutting hour and expect management to put in additional hours free of change..., add hours to increase customer experience.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookI have been working at Katz Group full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
Excellent benefits medical and vision. No dispensing fee for employees prescription.
Cons
No operating hours to cover the full business hours. No job security. Upper management has no focus.
Advice to Management
Increase store operating hours and the business will come. Management can not work six day ten hours per day just to get store to bear minimum standards

Pros
Good work environment, terrific co-workers with a wide variety of skill sets and backgrounds.
Cons
Executive team constantly turning over, lots of "flavour of the month" initiatives. Inconsistent focus.
Advice to Management
Stop hiring retreads from US companies who come to Canada and think they understand Canada.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Katz Group full-time for more than 8 years
Pros
Excellent benefit packages (health and dental) Efforts recognized (chance for career advancements) Great staff (friendly atmosphere, office a "team") An easily attainable bonus structure Location. All departments on two floors
Cons
Loads of great people left due to mismanagement VP's and up made final call on promos - never in control of budget Always changing (which is good) but always moving sideways Org Chart needs to be updated Operations/Stores not aligned enough to head office
Advice to Management
Have your leaders stay longer to have a chance to make an impact. By the time they are adjusted and start to put their plan together, they are replaced with new blood, with a new vision, which never gets fully implemented.

I worked at Katz Group
Pros
Fast-paced, customer care is very important, other staff members were excellent, team atmosphere but this will depend on which pharmacy you work at
Cons
management at times more focused on bottom line over patient care, wages are quite sticky wage grid makes raises hard to come by, may have to work longer hours without OT
Advice to Management
Take care of your employees and customers the rest will take care of itself... As long management is making terrible choices
