Pros

Literally nothing you can't get anywhere else.

Cons

Chaos, management that does not stand up for its employees, leadership that is threatened easily by anyone with ideas on how to improve. They penalize good employees for minor mistakes yet allow bad employees to take advantage for years before finally reviewing for termination. And the worst? TERRIBLE health insurance options! You're a health care COMPANY. And the best you can offer people is a plan with a $2,000 deductible and $6500 maximum out of pocket? How are people who make $30,000 a year supposed to afford that? Greedy.

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.
