Pluspunten
it was close to home (13 miles) and fun to work there when it first opened as Payless Drug. They were a good company to work for. It deteriorated after it became Rite Aid.
Minpunten
Payless used to have a motto " Use common sense and good judgement" Rite Aid's motto must be "Don't think" . (The manager had to go through corporate to get the air conditioning fixed too bad he was"too stupoid to hire someone locally".) We had one terrible manager who was forcing out all the best people. We were able to get him transfered before he could do any more damage to out customer base. Then a new District Manager was transfered in and that manager was reassigned to our store --- 10 months later he was let go for stealing over $10000 out the back door... never prosecuted though and an unsuspecting local company is saddled with him. I was told that they would rehire me at the minimum wage and have to start out with the vacation at one week per year --- at 18 years I had three weeks if vacation a year. I believe that I was the most efficient worker there - certainly more so than the young women who did nothing but flip through magazines at the checkout or chat mindlessly as they were (slowly) putting out freight.
