Pros

Variety of different tasks, boredom seldom a problem. Decent benefit package especially the usual 3 to 1 profit sharing company match. Reasonable pay for the generally menial tasks required of the low level store management team.

Cons

Completion of tasks becoming more difficult in recent months due to severe cuts in store level payroll. 15% cut in assistant manager pay due to 4 hours of OT per week taken away leaving the EXA's having to work more hours with no extra pay.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
