Business Outlook

Pros

The location was in a great city and the pay was decent. It looks great on the resume and I learned a great deal about how the company functions. The perks were also nice.

Cons

I worked the graveyard shift so I got off real late. The people there were great. It was like a great big family, except for the managers. They worked hard at making our lives miserable. For the most part female pharmacists were nice but the males were all haters.
