Pluspunten

The company has been going through major changes in senior management and organization structures in the past two years and are in the processes of implementing recommendations from several consulting companies in every area you could possibly think of. Overall it's heading a better direction compared to two years ago and there are lots of opportunities out there.

Minpunten

Working in a big old company that is going through major overhauls could be chaotic. Many top executives are too old fashioned and really cannot keep up with the constantly changing environment. Even after laying off several hundreds people at the corporate, the company is overstaffed with useless analysts and clueless middle management. The compensation is decent but the benefits are horrible. Reviews, very often, are not based on performance, which discourage hard-working employees. People, especially the middle management, tend to spend most of their time in meetings without really generating any deliverables.

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.
