Pros

Had a job. Some co-workers were friendly

Cons

I literally do not understand the direction of Rite-Aid. It seems every couple of months they are coming up with some new campaign. In the past 6 months, I have seen many pharmacists quit and a PDM leave. The over-hyped Wellness Ambassadors have been reduced to mere salespeople. The pay for the Pharmacy Technicians, who truly do most of the work, is poor. 8 dollars an hour when hospitals are paying 16-20 an hour is ridiculous. Its the reason why techs do not stay. They also have a habit of making false promises. People have been told they will get a promotion, but they needed to prove themselves. Never happened.
