Pros

Paycheck and breaks and punching out.

Cons

Too many tasks for one cashier. No backup. Have to answer phone while checking out a line of people. Have to run across to photo and do the photo order. Have to deal with customers who are very demanding and look down on you. That is draining Most customers are nice. Deal with multiple people asking you where products are and door dasher. While not doing all this you have a task list. Outdates, facing, cleaning, stocking, cleaning. You will be running back and forth from the registers, unless the managers don’t care and let you just stand at the front on your shift. I guess it depends on the store you work at.

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.
