Pros

Great customers at this location for the most part; this store has been a part of the community for years. I have a fun group of co-workers who have also been there for a long time and who know the company, store, and customer base inside and out. Mgr. is willing to work with school schedules/outside commitments as much as they are able to. Co-workers have been helpful so far; haven't been here long so I still have questions.

Cons

I've noticed that some of the front-end managers can be rude and condescending to those who are not their direct reports or who are not their personal work friends. Not sure why a company would tolerate that kind of behavior if they expect employees to treat customers well and with the "tender loving care" that company founders had wanted customers to be treated. That is something the store director needs to address and nip in the bud, because rude behavior toward employees shouldn't even be tolerated on any level. I could never get anyone to return my calls when I was applying and had to do more than my share of follow-up in order to get hired. Those same people now won't even acknowledge me, even though I've proven myself to be a good worker who gets along well with everyone. That attitude needs to change and it starts at the top.

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
