I can't think of any pros anymore. Even the new restrooms aren't as nice as my own at home and the soap smells disgusting. I rarely have time to use the restroom when I need to, but it's nice to have it be so close now if I can get away. Finally, a small, professional courtesy to your healthcare professionals.

Minpunten

I have been with the company for almost 10 years. Every benefit has been cut, wages are stagnant, labor hours are now micromanaged on a daily basis by grocery managers that have absolutely no clue how long some prescriptions take to fill due to extenuating circumstances or how to handle insurance/billing issues that leave patients disgruntled. I work alone all the time as a cashier, constantly interrupted, with no time to fill prescriptions and be a pharmacist. I am so sick of grocery management (community college drop-outs) coming back to talk to pharmacy because someone complained about the price of their medication, when we made absolutely zero profit and lost money filling the prescription. They do not use common sense or professionalism when handling matters of pharmacy. It is all about blind obedience to the big red "S" that they learned in their remedial, middle-management, Safeway corporate brainwashing boot-camp. They have no clue and no respect for me, a Doctor of Pharmacy, 10 years of post high school education, whom they refer to as "hun", "hon", or however the disrespectful colloquialism is spelled, when they should be referring to me as Dr. or at the very least, my name, but the uneducated, brainwashed, tunnel visioned idiots have been given authority to interfere with my domain, my license, patient safety, and my sanity on a daily basis. We used to have fun and have plenty of staff to give outstanding customer service and patient care. Now every day is absolute HELL and I can't wait to leave this nightmare of retail pharmacy behind me.

Pluspunten

Friendly environment and great co-workers. Being a floral clerk was hands down my favorite customer service job I've worked. Made some nice friends working there, and the stress of work was easily handled because of the friendly people.

Minpunten

Seniority was definitely a thing. I was expected to take shifts that the other people didn't want until someone newer came along, and then I had seniority over them. Upper management for the store was also the worst. They would take credit for our department's hard work and shift blame onto us for oversights or actions on their part. Once I got promoted to admin, I saw how little they cared about their employees. They would make passing comments and openly admit to giving certain employees who were "problem people" bad shifts or deny their requests for days off. I was in charge of making the schedule and would be told not to give certain people the days they wanted that week, even if they were within their availability, just to make things difficult for them. They also don't promote from within. I was asked to be the interim manager when our manager went on maternity leave. I stepped up and took on manager duties despite not getting a pay raise. When my manager decided she wanted to move stores, she was hoping I would be given the role permanently. Instead, they decided to bring in someone from another store, and I had to train her to be a floral manager at ours. They did eventually promote me to store admin, but my passion was working in floral. I agreed on the promotion as long as I could still work in the floral department, but they eventually phased me out of that role. Literally tricked me into taking a promotion and then falling back on the terms we agreed on.
