Pros

Pay is good, lots of locations, always seems to be a need for managers and support staff, new employees can move up to a store or pharmacy management position quickly if they show interest and are somewhat competent

Cons

Stress, stress, and more stress. High pressure to excessively multi-task, not enough support staff to do what needs to be done, management has no idea how difficult it is for pharmacists to answer phones, ring registers, counsel patients, give shots, and answer questions - all while filling prescriptions that cannot have any mistakes. No way to have much of a personal life - work comes first because someone always has to be there.

Pros

Good learning platform for newbies out of school and you will also be given a lot of responsibility which can mature you.

Cons

Terrible schedule and no work life balance. There is also a lot of favortism and back stabbing. Some store are very understaffed but the work still has to be done. You WILL do every aspect. Garbage, cleaning, lifting heavy boxes. Not a paper and pen job.
