Pluspunten

The pay is pretty decent for managers. Benefits are good (holiday pay, vacations, profit-sharing, discounts), though health plan could be better. The locations are many, so having one near your home or being able to transfer if you move are plusses. The job isn't brain surgery, it's not too mentally difficult.

Minpunten

The hours are crappy, esp. when you have to work the late shift one day and come in early the next morning. Two days off in a row is a rarity. The job is very physically demanding at times (receiving and managing freight, doing resets). Long hours on your feet - lots and lots of walking. Endless task lists and busywork. Often incompetent store managers or EXAs. Little room to advance quickly any more. Promotions based on popularity versus ability. Skills not valued. Training is horrible from day one, and never gets better. You're basically on your own, and neglected.

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.
