Pros

Chill about WFH though require 3 days in office. People do care about the work they are doing, they try very hard. The "culture" is still an appropriate description for how they want to operate.

Cons

Has almost zero on-site engineering capabilities except for specific teams. Underpaid for level of responsibility. No real raises for years. Rating scale based on bell curve with requirements for all sections of the curve. Management makes no decisions, and devalues accomplishments unless you overproduce as the standard. Full contractor based/managed organization.

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.
