Advice to Management
When you lose good workers due to one person's behaviour, you should look at the one person, not judge the people leaving. There's a reason why they left.

Pros
Great people, family oriented and family owned. Never felt like I disliked my job or company
Cons
Somewhat antiquated style of internal management. Mostly a sign of the business being family owned and less corporate driven.
Advice to Management
Modernize internal organization. It's 2019, there are far better ways to do the things we're currently doing.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at London Drugs part-time for more than a year
Pros
- can't think of any - non-discriminatory hiring, diverse staff - staff in the non-general department (eg. cosmetics, AVS, computers, etc.) have opportunities for growth, commission for the tech people
Cons
- employees don't all get trained....cracks in the system...... huge training problem - performance rewards are set up for you to fail; hierarchy system (eg. supervisors automatically get rewards even if their performance is sub-par, on the other hand, general employees are almost always ineligible 'because they don't perform well enough, or do anything important enough to deserve a reward' - you have to pay for... uniforms... but they'll critique you if your uniform is worn out...ugh
