Pros

I worked as a Business Management Intern. It paid well and working at my local store allowed me to take summer classes while working. You get great exposure to a potential career in retail management. There are lots of projects for interns to work on and complete and they are very flexible about which ones you choose. So if you are interested in Marketing you can do marketing projects. Interns generally don't have to work weekends.

Cons

They try to use the intern program to get you to become an assistant manager. Which isn't actually a bad career path for many people if you are cut out for it. Assistant managers work hard and tough hours but are paid well and have a very rapid potential for advancement.

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.
