Pros

* My manager gets back in the stock room or the store aisles and does the same things that he requires of us * Extremely flexible when working with you on your schedule * Great and fast opportunities for advancement * Decent pay * The IRA matching program is spectacular * Free flu shots * 15% discount * THEY ARE HIRING Overall, as a first job, it's been a pretty good experience. I would recommend it to others looking for a cashier/stockboy position

Cons

* Obviously rude customers, but hey, it's retail * Co-workers can be quite frustrating * Almost no training * Can be hard work if you're doing it right

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
