Pros

Being in the pharmacy, you are in a close knit group of people. You feel like you are actually saving lives and you learn a lot about pharmaceuticals! very marketable skills.

Cons

The pay is terrible. Pharmacists are making 6 times what you make, but you do most of the leg work. It is a high paced environment. raises are negligible. Your evaluation is almost always underestimated and you only get a couple cents raise. my last one went up 12 cents.

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.
