Pros

Decent benefits, $1 match 401k, somewhat flexible hours, good training. You can use the mandatory training and turn it into valuable experience for a better paying job. Good coworkers.

Cons

Rude customers, constantly understaffed, perpetually missing vital orders from the whole saler, and long hours on your feet. Corporate does not want you to sit except on your lunch (not in the pharmacy). A fast learning curve. Management (pharmacist in charge) only cares about their bonuses, not how much work you put in or how little you earn. Playing the role of pharmacy, cashier, personal assistant, and stock boy.

Pros

Direct coworkers were great to work with. I also enjoyed being left to do my work and not babysat by management.

Cons

Management doesn't know what they are doing. Resets and floor plans were regularly not done properly. The store I worked at has a skeleton crew so I never got help (but was expected to stop everything I'm going to go help other departments/areas). Also meaning good luck to any customers needing help, especially when I was the only person working my area of the store, so when I wasn't there, no one was. Management also regularly disappeared into the offices or were on vacation. Also was terminated for reasons outside my control even though I was told they look at the reasons for attendance incidents before termination. Never got to get the FMLA or accommodation to my doctors before being terminated two days after I requested them. Didn't bother asking for a raise either. I did multiple times and got nothing.
