Pros

Overall it's a well, respected company. Our convenient locations are key to our past success and will likely play a major role in our future success. Because of our locations, we are positioned to be a big player in the transformation of healthcare in the US. While it's still in its infancy and anything can happen, our business model of using our retail locations as a platform for additional healthcare services beyond our tradtional pharmacies could prove to be extremely profitable for us and beneficial for society as well. Our profit-sharing is among the best out there.

Cons

The recent growth has lead to a lot of bureaucracy and departments not communicating as well as they should. It's definitely a time of uncertainty so morale is down.

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.
