Pros

Big company and getting bigger. Making money in a tough brick and mortar retail environment. Trying to be an innovator in retail. Has over 8200 brick and mortar stores with good pharmacists.

Cons

Very hierarchical. Talks about acting fast but due to many layers of management, acts slowly. Top-heavy. Old school thinking.

Pros

-Employee Discount. -thankful only to a couple of hidden references that help me get to where (different company) I am today, God bless you guys!!!

Cons

-No Job Outlook, no room to grow and no job opportunities. -Manager stub their noses at people that are interested in promotion. -Promote monkeys to management positions. -Let technicians evaluate pharmacists (techs get away destroying reputation due to jealously). -store managers are only certified technicians and not pharmacists...yet they control the pharmacists with the licenses. -break rules (let their kids run around in the pharmacy...board violation). -No living costs raises. -hard, diligent work is not honored, never "good enough." -customers are always right, even when their opioids are too early or fake Rx are given out, store manager still caters to their corrupt customers.

Pros

None, None, None, and None

Cons

Store managers reprimands for NOT filling a C-II prescription that insurance rejected for refill to soon "manager tells me to fill it due to customer willing to pay cash" I refused reprimanded. Long hours, lots of disrespect, lots of stress, and constant threat of being fired.
