Pros

panera bagels on the first wednesday of the month

Cons

paper training material book for job role (made it difficult for employees to properly handle referrals and caused stress with patients/doctors/insurance companies). Did not automatically give raises even with job changes (had to "elect" yourself for a job promotion even if you were already working that job -- would say raise after 90 days to get you into it but never followed through). Keep in mind if you did do the training for a higher position (say major medical billing) you are not allowed to go back to PBM even if you ask to do so and even if no raise/job title was given for you to be doing that work. lack of proper SOP's and support for employees to ensure referral completion in an accurate way (always upset doctors/patients/employees with this).

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.
