Pros

We were a family on the crew i worked with. (Few exceptions)

Cons

Couldn’t terminate people who did not do their job Consistent call outs from people. Theft. Store manager quit so we got burned out and extremely frustrated. You only get to move up if you know someone in the company. I had no work life balance! That’s why i quit the first time. I was beginning to struggle in school because I’d be out of the schedule when i requested to not work at that time!

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.
