Pros

The people you meet on a daily basis.

Cons

It use to be a great family atmosphere but since they merged with Boots Alliance a few years ago, it has went downhill. No one seems to care about retaining long term devoted employees. If you aren't putting more money into upper management's pockets, they will find a way to get rid of you. If there are anymore 15 plus years employees left, I would be surprised. The grass is definitely much more greener on the other side once you leave this company. Adios!

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.
