Pros

Company is expanding internationally and domestically. Strong company performance. Strong vision driven company. Well salaried employees and good raises during difficult economy.

Cons

Too much change in Vision, Mission, and Culture since 2009. Long term employees are looked at as a hindrance as opposed to an asset. Too many senior leadership roles hiring many outsourced companies to perform tasks. Too many and often changing standard operating procedures.

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.
