Pluspunten

Well, based on my experience, they offer intensive training in the management trainee position, both on the computer and hands on in all the department, which prepares you to better handle the different roles that you take in that position. Everyone was very friendly to me and I liked their open door policy from store manager all the way up to the district manager. Even though you have to be flexible with your time, they are willing to work with you in the even that you have appointments or an emergency. Best of all, if you have mastered your current position duties, you can apply for a promotion to the EXA position, and move up from there. All in all, I loved this company when I worked there.

Minpunten

Well, as much as I love this company, like all others, there are downsides. For example, since you are working shifts, the time you leave depends on what time your replacement comes...or not! So you can be stuck working a double shift. Or you may be off duty one day and if a person who is scheduled to work that day does not come in, you may be asked to fill in. I guess the upside to that is extra pay. Another example, is that you work on the holidays, which does not work well for people with children, since most day cares or schools are closed on holidays.

Pluspunten

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Minpunten

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

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
