Pros

It was a close commute to where I was living at the time.

Cons

My supervisor was very mean and didn't explain anything that I did wrong in my first week. She would just come over and yell at me and tell me I was doing something wrong, instead of telling me what I needed to correct. It was more complicated than I thought it would be. For a week/or two of training, I didn't feel like I was equipped to deal with patients that were denied medication for HIV/AIDS and cancer. Unless you are okay with people screaming at you for something you have no control of, including managers/supervisors then this isn't the job for you. I ended up constantly getting sick due to stress, and then just had to quit.

Pros

Great place to work with really amazing staff. Working in downtown Charleston gives you the opportunity to interact with a ton of different people.

Cons

The store can get VERY busy at times.

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
