Pros

you learn the ends and outs of a business, from front end to back end which can carry you to any other company. you can obtain a pharmacy tech certification which carries along way as long as you keep it up and do not let it expire.

Cons

no life as a manager. can loose a big time those things that are most important in your personal life. you work 6 days a week and as EXA you are a slave to the work. by the time you get your bonus it doesn't equate to the hours you have put in extra through out the year. so be extra cautious when looking at the EXA position. the managers beneath you make more than you do!

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

The starting pay rate is better than compared to the other competitive. There is a good friendly culture inside the company, but I realize this truly depends on where you work.

Cons

The hourly rate increases each year by very small amount, like 20 cents. No matter how good your pharmacist/manager have rated your annual performance. The critics you also input won’t seem to matter in the long run.
