Pros

As a pharmacy intern, you have a straight shot into management over a few years because of the growth. Depending on the store, you can have hell or you can have heaven. People you see and work with generally are not as nasty to you as places like Walmart

Cons

Hours are tough when you're at a busy store. There's not been any kind of raises that make sense for pharmacy interns. The money as an intern is not really that high.

Pros

The discount on store items. The company has stores all over the United States, so one could travel virtually anywhere and transfer into another store. They'll hire anyone........

Cons

No respect of store workers. The corporate managers do not understand the needs of store personnel and cut salary & expenses first and quite drastically at times. The new & upcoming initiatives are laughed at by store employees becasue we are all overwhelmed, all the time. Not fairly compensated, no raise, in the stores at least, is based on merit?

Pros

Great Advancement, Promotions actually seems to be done on merit system. Pay is decent, definitely good for retail industry.

Cons

Managers, especially EXA's, are worked like dogs. 6 day weeks are extremely common (unpaid overtime because were salaried), which really is not fair considering the education requirements and compensation. work life balance is essentially non-existent.
