Pros

-Customers are generally nice, they just want their medication refills -Management, though tired of me, was fine

Cons

-No downtime, even late into the late shift it was difficult to find a point where calls would stop coming -Excessively micromanaged, the damn place has cameras everywhere just to see if you're "slacking off." -I was once written up for using Google Calendar on my second screen to plan my day -They start off easy on you then start cracking down once its time for you to get your trainee's license and take calls -Low pay -Bedbugs, along with other bug infestations -No chances to move up, leading positions were just more stress with the same pay -Not a very stimulating job -Angry customers were really angry

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.
