Pros

Good technology, the processing system is the best and constantly evolving. A lot of good people work for the company. Good money but not great, and you work for it.

Cons

Effective training is nonexistent. It always gets down to on-the-job. Older stores are in wretched shape-- after a few years the facilities are ghetto. Every communication from management, no matter how nicely the words say it, boils down to four things: 1. Do more 2. Do it faster 3. Do it with less help and 4. Do it perfectly because you might kill someone. Finally, pharmacists should never, ever have to answer to a non-pharmacist regarding the pharmacist's professional judgment.

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

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
