Pluspunten

Annual salary is 40,000 and the 401K is 3.05 for every dollar you invest. They promote store manager only from within which is good and bad. Good, because the store manager, in most cases, started as a cashier and could end up as a store manager, district manager, or regional manager. Bad, because without the right training you can be promoted too fast and become nothing more than a gloried stockboy who never learned the proper leadership skills needed to have successful staff.

Minpunten

The management position involves long hours, stocking shelves, and working several weekends in a row! Scheduling is supposed to be fair, but unfortunately for managers it is not. There is a lot of heavy lifting, pressure, and poor feedback with this position. You work really hard, but nobody notices or says any thing.

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.
