Pluspunten

great place for hourly cashiers, photo lab, stockers, etc. Good benefits. They do understand health care better than most employers. Great training programs in place for all positions. In most locations there is a sense of security. Yearly reviews are given to all positions. Employee discounts are 20% and if you know how to shop the ad's it can be a real help to your families finances. Great direction from field. District and Regional directors are very well trained in dealing with store management. It is a very old fashioned work environment with very ethical practices in place to deal with overall customer satisfaction.

Minpunten

Only for management. High external theft. No sense of security in "urban" locations. They not only want to rob you of your cash but also your drugs in the pharmacy. Scary. Once you are a store manager, even if you are relocatable, there is absolutely no room for advancement. Your customer service issues can be of monumental proportions. Once in a lifetime photos of a wedding or the birth of a baby, or any number of occasions are ruined by a $7.00 an hour clerk. How do you resolve that? Someone is denied life saving medication by their insurance company but we are the messenger. No way to calm that person down.

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.
