Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly staff. Options to gain overtime in any department. Good discounts across various brands and companies.

Cons

Managers throw their weight around a lot and tend to kick off and complain about things in the pharmacy that they don't understand. Keep trying to send home staff to save money despite it being unrealistic and risking patient safety to expect 1 dispenser to manage the counter and dispensary alone.
