Pros

Work from home as a manager or educator. These roles are cushy for the most part and very autonomous. Still get a decent salary & nice bonus if your team performs or the company does well overall for the year. Travel has been cut significantly so more time is spent on a computer or phone but it's paid for and time is more flexible if you have a family or friends. As long as your team performs, clinics stay open and you keep your head down you can function independently.

Cons

The executive team cannot figure out the best way to run the company. Over the past 5 years managers have had to re-apply and re-interview for their positions. This is a nice way for the executives to "restructure" and "reorganize" avoiding any HR complaints as they put their friends or those that brown nose them into management roles. Positions are pre-determined and the reapplying and interviewing is for show only. If you don't "drink the cool aide" or you question anyone or anything or if you directly question a person in a director position or higher, you will be out. Even if your points are valid. They value those that completely support their mission with blind eyes and no thoughts of their own. As long as you look good, have the corporate talk down and schmooze the right executives you are in. If not start looking for a new role because the reorganization happens every 2-3 years as they try to figure it out. The benefits have also changed dramatically. CME reimbursement and time off to attend decreased and insurance options changed to even worse with high deductibles. If you work for MinuteClinic long term be prepared to start over as a FNP. Many employers are either not familiar with MinuteClinic or if they are feel that it is a joke and basically do not even consider it experience.

Pros

I learned a lot working there as far as how to run a business as well as how to develop a team. I had one of the most successful teams in the company ranking as the top store year over year in two separate markets, one in the Northeast one in the Southeast. I was a paragon winner with the company as well. My most recent DM was very supportive. I genuinely thank them for the opportunity and the knowledge that I acquired while working with them.

Cons

Work hours were excessive. To be successful hours worked were borderline slavery. While I willingly worked them to be successful, the week you didn't you were immediately behind. Vacations were almost non existent due to constant visitors from corporate stopping in to do reviews. Holiday weeks were paid 4 days regular 1 holiday and you worked all 5. The facade of the stores looking great when these people stop by versus the reality of the business is polarizing. There were always teams of people and excessive expenditures of payroll thrown into stores prior to their visits. While I understood the need to make an appearance, it was always will always be a backwards way off thinking. Company preaches quality of life for their clients while quality of life for their employees is non-existent. As a "manager" in your average store you will be "managing" a total of one person during your shift, with a total of 10 people at location. Location open hours will exceed total payroll hours ie Sun-Sat 7am-10pm = 15hrs per day x 7 days x 2 people = 210 hrs which excludes the need to have a person unload deliveries that come in during non opened hours. Your budgeted hours will be approximately 208 hrs. I will only mention that during the month of December that there are extended hours for the stores but no budgeted hours to accommodate. Stores are held to strict shrink targets with little to no control over external theft. Remember 2 people at location, if four people enter to steal there is nothing you can do to stop them. These are facts not personal prejudices.
