Pros

Reasonable hourly salary for a pharmacist in the state of CA. I have a lot of respect for SWY as they are fair in terms of pay and work environment. I appreciated the experiences, people, and patients I had the pleasure to serve while in SWY's employment.

Cons

High stress labor models are a danger to public safety, especially in the context of being required to give injections on demand, not to mention the legal aspects. Stop allowing the definition of success to be equated to the absence of failure. Pharmacists are dynamical health care professionals, not "robots." Why don't you value the pharmacist-patient relationship by increasing the pharmacy technician hours? You'll grow from good to excellent if you do, in my opinion.
