Pros

great pay, great benefits (especially 401K and stock options), excellent technology (especially Rx processing software, best in business in my opinion), well trained techs

Cons

no seniority in regards to weekends/ nights/ holidays (you work them even if with the company 20 years), often reduced to glorified cashier, little time to counsel, no lunch breaks, health insurance could be better, personal growth is stifled (crawl/walk/ run corporate mentality).

Pros

You are given some of the best technology to help you with your job. Support personnel are given opportunities to elevate their knowledge base in the pharmacy. This helps to free the pharmacist up for more clinical tasks and patient interaction.

Cons

Key performance indicators are sometimes given too much consideration. Supervisors can fail to take specific points for a store into consideration when offering improvement points. This can damage staff morale, and create a an antagonistic environment.

Pros

They pay well considering what else is out there right now and if you are working with the right people it can be a lot of fun.

Cons

Customers are stupid and whine nonstop and the policy is to make them happy no matter what, I have literally given away merchandise before because the customer threw such a fit. Also you have a crazy schedule. most night shifts you will not get a lunch break.
