Pros

The corporate cafeteria was really good

Cons

Some that come to mind off the top of my head: lies, lies, more lies... "people never leave this company." Oh yes they do. They are either forced to leave, or are fired, if they don't conform and kiss major bootie. The politics at this company are unbelievable. It's like high school. Do you eat lunch with the right people? Do you dress the right way? Do you pretend to be tolerant while talking behind people's backs? Do you read what's written between the lines in your department, instead of listening to what corporate policy says? It's a sheep mentality. If you drive the wrong car you may be shunned and I am not kidding.

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.
