Pluspunten

good benefits and 401K plan; decent pay;good computer system; job security;fairly easy to transfer to other locations within company if you have to move

Minpunten

very high stress environment; expected to do more and more with less support hours i.e technicians; every move you make is monitored-corporate knows how long it takes you to answer the phone, how long it takes to fill a prescription during each step, etc; you are expected to do the work of 2 pharmacists with no bathroom or lunch breaks; day and evening shifts with no consistency-sometimes you are lucky to be able to go home for 8 hours before you have to start it all again; constant interruptions- multi tasking does not even begin to cover it.; usual corporate BS-paint a pretty picture for when upper management comes- you are encouraged to voice your opinion unless of course it does not coincide with managements view

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.
