Pros

On the job training provided

Cons

Coworker threw objects at other coworkers on 2 separate occasions and sexually assaulted another on security cameras with no repercussions. Understaffed already and doubled our workload, suddenly requiring employees to stay 2 hours late with 1 week notice of the change, no additional staff being hired. Lied about the pay and raises during hiring process (3 tests required to stay working in pharmacy, they will tell you each you pass comes with a pay raise and you will be making $20/hr within a year, this is not true, the tests do not come with pay raises) also started me at a lower pay than what I was told the base pay is

Pros

Generally a good group of people. Work itself isn't terribly hard. Insurance is nice however, the pay is poverty wages,

Cons

Pay is called "competitive" It's competitive in the sense they pay dollars less than their competitors. You will be working solo mostly. There is zero payoff for doing a good job. Raises exist once a year set by union. These raises do not keep up with inflation. ALL PRODUCTS ARE 15-30% more expensive than other stores. Almost no one can afford to shop here that works here. If they do shop here they are paying between 50 cents to dollars more per item. The store is literally ripping off customers and workers. Work is do'able and can be completed if you bust your butt for a bit. The pay off? None. There's no raise, no bonus, they don't remember it for future raises. Working full time and getting between 370 and 500 a week is not livable. They talk about community helping which they do however its the cheapest way to pretend to care vs paying people who work there in the community more so there would be LESS people in need, No sense of purpose.
