Pros

Hours were flexible, pay was slightly better than other places I had worked, I worked in the pharmacy so I learned about general pharmacy management, prescriptions, insurance billing, etc.

Cons

The store I worked at was pretty boring, when I was hired they told me they had a lot of angry customers but they were actually pretty nice - a lot of older people as well as some people who came from Kentucky to buy Sudafed.

Pros

• Generally work with fantastic people. • Work is not difficult, and time flies when busy. • My bosses collaborated with me to create a schedule that worked, as I often had other commitments. • Overall, a pleasant work experience most days. Get good at what you do and you'll do fine.

Cons

• Some of the senior management was less friendly than others - as to be expected. • Days were very volatile; some could be extremely easy, and others could be a nightmare. • Scheduling was kept rather limited; although I was able to get the hours I wanted, often times management would look to cut hours from departments whenever possible, leaving less support.
