Pros

Pay is decent for third shift but they expect you to do millions of tasks each night

Cons

Pay is decent for third shift but they expect you to do millions of tasks each night. Try don't give you breaks or bathroom breaks. The manager hides in the back and leaves you alone in the store. You are expected to work all over the store and watch the front and ring up customers while stocking coolers and doing things where you can't actually watch the store but still be held accountable for the store when you can't see it

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.
