      Pros

      Higher than average starting pay for Texas, fairly consistent routine week to week, and most everyone that I've worked with has been very cool and willing to help coworkers out with projects or switching shifts. At my store, most everyone has each other's backs and that's a welcome feeling.

      Cons

      Evaluations aren't taken seriously; Pulse meetings are just SFLs talking vaguely about what they want to change, but aren't allowed to; One Store Hourly budget means front end gets no help and pharmacy gets 6-8 people back there during their rush times; HUGE turnover problem, especially with college students.

      Overworked and understaffed

      Pros

      Because I'm a manager I get a bonus...which isn't enough to deal with the stress I deal with on a daily basis

      Cons

      The culture has changed drastically. Less about patient care and more about speed and money. It's about how fast you fill scripts, how many immunizations you can do with the least amount of help possible

      Great employer, but like everywhere it comes down to your boss

      Pros

      + Good pay for the work + Solid benefits + Good work/life balance; I was never bothered on my days off and never expected to work an open to close. In fact, they have a policy where if you work past 10 hours in a day, you automatically get overtime pay for the day. As someone who was stuck at work all day after co-workers called out and the store manager refused to come in, that's a big plus. + They have a process for everything you do in-store, but unlike most places I've worked the processes actually make good sense and are not overly complicated. + I know this is more subjective, but the store manager and DM I worked with were both really great people to work for. I had a medical emergency around Christmas of 2016 (just a month and a half after I started) and missed almost a week of work; they were both extremely helpful throughout, working with me on my schedule and making sure I had someone else in the store in case I had another issue until I was okay. Most places I've worked wouldn't go to that length.

      Cons

      - It's a customer service job, with all the cons that brings. Some customers can be really difficult, but nothing too far out of the ordinary. - I dislike the management dress code for men; it's a dress shirt with tie and vest. I understand you want your management to look professional, but you also have to think about being practical, and unloading a 400+ piece truck in a shirt and tie is not really fun. Even if you had the option of wearing a store polo on truck days, that'd be super great.
