Pros

I like the computer system. There were different screen icons to view the workload coming in to process. I liked having the drive through during Covid-19 pandemic which limited direct exposure to patient while still helping them. They offered lots of People Plus learning activities to help train staff and prepare them for working in the pharmacy. They emphasize workload balancing to adjust to the number of people working in the pharmacy at any given time.

Cons

Four months into the Covid 19 pandemic they started laying off staff. After the COVID-19 vaccines became available, they stressed the senior techs to become vaccinators, and continued to plan to let more staff go by the Spring of 2021. The remaining staff complained of being very tired on a regular basis.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
