Pros

- no worse than working at other pharmacies overall - get more technicians than other pharmacies - I got almost a full month of training - most of the team are nice people - I like being able to price match / lower prices due to price challenge - makes people yell at you less - no drive thru window - sometimes they give you free stuff - ie. pizza, soft drinks, t-shirt, etc. - good $

Cons

- from day 1 they talk about work-life balance but with unreasonable expectations, work-life balance is pretty much impossible. I regularly work 15-17 hour days when scheduled for 12 hour shifts. ETL pharmacy claims that she has excellent work-life balance but that doesn't appear to be the case from the hours I see her putting in - coworkers abuse the sick time policy with almost no repercussions - management is afraid to deal with problem team members - say they want your ideas for improvement but dismiss every idea without much consideration. Best just to shut your mouth, fill those Rx's lickity split, & try to keep your head down and metrics somewhat acceptable - you are micromanaged a lot - management often sides with abusive guests instead of team members, encouraging bad behavior

Pros

These days, there really are none. Was great when I first started 10 years ago, and it has gone downhill with time.

Cons

Does not support internal promotions. Would rather look at external candidates vs. seasoned team members could do the job. Treats non-exempt employees at corporate HQ like 16 yr. old cashiers, even in highly-visible & important positions. Going above & beyond your position duties shows no rewards.
