Pros

-Plenty of tech help -People have shopping to do so the pressure to get prescriptions filled immediately is a lot lower than other retailers -Half of the days of the week, you might have triple overlap for around 6 hours of the day. Three-fourths of the days, you have at least double overlap for 90% of the day -Most medications are really cheap, so there is a lot less conflict from customers over prices -Less likely to get robbed versus CVS, Walgreens, or independent pharmacies -The number of metrics at Walmar are wayyy lower than other retailers. The metrics are also pretty achievable. -6% matching 401k -10% employee discount -Health insurance that is inexpensive and also pays the first $300 of healthcare costs each year -Store Managers never even come back to the pharmacy. So, it's not like at CVS or Walgreens where the pharmacists are below the store manager (who often has a 1/4 of the education as pharmacists)

Cons

-People think that the clientele is a lot worse at walmart than other retailers. Not true. People are people wherever you go.

Pros

Advancement opportunities, great at developing skills, great place to learn a skill and grow your resume, or grow with the company.

Cons

Understaffing issues negatively affects all parts of their business. However, Walmart has increased their minimum hourly rate with hopes to attract more committed employees, and retain better employees.
