Pros

balance sheet. and many locations. Through name recognitiion and convience of so many locations. WAG has grown into a conglomerate with the ability to be force to be reckoned with. If a PBMs' reimbursment rate is to low, wag simply stops participating with them and waits for their clients to complain wag is not a participating pharmacy. Their technical expertise has always been on the leading edge. from satelites to electric staplers. They cannot be beat for trying.

Cons

corporate greed. glorified dollar store. Due to the ability of all their IT work they are now able to change the way retail does business. instead of making their robotics and workflow relieve the pharmaicist for other duties which might empower the role of the profession in the community. they use it to reduce the number of pharmacists to save money. NICE!

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
