Pros

Discount for employees is decent.

Cons

Lazy ASM's. Managers delegate training (of ASM-t's) to Shift Leads, who think they deserve your job. SFL's denigrate and hyper-critique your work due to their jealousy. You'll be scrubbing toilets and mopping the floor while the people that train you, sit up in the office and speak poorly about you. you'll get told on so much, that eventually the SM will get sick of hearing about it, and call you into the office to demean you, and threaten to write you up, or deny your promotion. Push management. The only thing that matters there, is driving the metrics. You will never matter, work many nights, and be tasked with dust mopping and mopping the floor, because the company is too cheap to regularly schedule a proper cleaning crew, to mop the floor (the pros come in once a month). Lots of theft from consumers. You're asked to hand them a hand cart if you suspect someone stealing. Junkies regularly shoot-up in the bathrooms and discard their needles in the toilet. Also, they discard their soiled under garments in the trash. They bathe at the sink, and dry off with paper toweling. If you're lucky and they lock the door, be prepared to run you feet off, to grab they key to open the door for them. If you have overstock, be prepared to wheel a cart around to stock your assigned area. Be prepared to be indoctrinated, used, then cast aside. Leadership and management will assign themselves the easy tasks, and assign you the more tedious and laborious ones.

Pros

The employees are great. A lot of very nice people.

Cons

Upper management shows no consideration for any kind of work/ life balance. Sure they talk a good game; then they make it very clear that you don't matter at all. I have had co-workers who have actually been told that they are easily replaceable. This WAS a great place to work before it became AllianceRx. Now it's a oppressive dreary place where even the small daily pleasures are slowly taken away from you. Steer Clear if you have other options.
