Pros

The people! The pay! The work/life balance!

Cons

New leadership is changing the culture to a fast-paced, all work/no play environment. At the corporate level, which is what my experience and this review is based on, the workplace has changed over the last year from friendly and family-oriented into a cut throat, burn people out then replace them with the next type A person type of atmosphere. My first manager was wonderful - supportive, a team player, and a good listener. My most recent manager was the opposite - she threw me under the bus to climb the ladder and was completely unsupportive during my tenure with her.

Good discounts, a free item every week through the app, hardship fund if approved, option for stocks

Not enough hours/pay to pay bills, odd hours makes it almost impossible to work a 2nd job

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
