Pros

Good starting pay, room for growth within company, great career opportunities, good benefits that start as soon as you start, pay for/reimburse you for liquor servers certification(both the class and the test totaling around 4 to 5 hours), awesome coworkers, if you're a hard worker they'll give you the hours you request(part time will get maximum part time hours and if you show you're dependable and you are a great worker they'll move you to full-time), management has your back when customers get out of line(at least at my store), flexible shifts, overall I love working here

Cons

Customers can be EXTREMELY rude(especially when they aren't getting their way), training is pretty much 2 days on the computer and 1 day with someone on the floor then you kind of have to figure it out on your own, some employees are super lazy and don't want to work(take their time when IC3 is called and by the time they've come to the front the line is gone which literally defeats the whole purpose), you literally NEVER get your 15 min breaks and ONLY get your 30 min lunch

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.
