Pros

The people I work with are good people. I enjoy coming into the office every day. They like to talk work/life balance too. Will be interesting to see how the next year progresses.

Cons

After a 1 BILLION dollar mistake the company is taking it to employees. Healthcare went up $200 - $300/ month and raises were capped at 1.5%. Overall pay will be way down next year because working here is getting so expensive.

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.
