Pros

Decent pay, the work isn't too hard, as an assistant manager you only have to work 40-44 hrs a week normally. Wage is hourly so anything over 40 hours is 1.5x. Paid holidays and decent benefits are also upsides.

Cons

The schedule changes from week to week so its hard to get any sort of continuity as far as a life outside of work. Sometimes you will be asked to work overnight shifts or drive 1-2 hours away to help set up a new store. Also as of late there has been a lot of hours cut, so more work is falling on the managers.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
