Pros

Salary, benefits all at the top of the pharmacist job market. Cutting edge retail practice environment with MTM, vaccinations, and workflow. The new Well-Experience stores are the near-future of retail pharmacy.

Cons

Suits and bean counters are trying to override medical practice and enforce their micromanagement upon individual pharmacies with negative effect - overworked, overstressed pharmacists make more mistakes at busy stores, and have their attention pulled too thin by corporate initiatives to basically do phone solicitation. There's no excuse for treating a Doctor of Pharmacy like a marketing call center associate. A culture of fear of making mistakes and losing one's job exists, rather than a culture of working hard to earn rewards. Managers are overworked, and higher turnover than staff pharmacists.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
