Pros

-Many different departments to choose from -Decently flexible hours -Managers are usually friendly

Cons

-After 8 years of working there, my pay went up a grand total of $1.50 -Corporate cuts hours frequently -Training is not what is used to be. When I first started, training was amazing. Every department had a district supervisor that would hold meetings, and visit stores, to makes sure all the employees knew what was going on. That was cut, and most training is either through emails, or on paper. When I first went into pharmacy(after 6 years with the company), my complete training was done in front of a computer. I did everything once, and was expected to jump right in, in one of the busiest stores in the district, in the busiest time of the year. I was the only one in pharmacy, who was NOT sent to a quiet store, to get one on one training. Training has definitely decreased.

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.
