Cons

ridiculous work load some managers won't give you a break at all and that is really hard on any worker during an 8 hour shift customers treat cashiers like they are 6th grade dropouts

If you're prepared to be worked as if you're 2.5 people, come right on over.

Pros

Store level, co-workers are great, it's like one big family. The job can be rewarding at times, especially when a customer takes the time to acknowledge the extra help you provided.

Cons

No respect from the higher ups. Not enough staff even when the store's volume clearly indicates growth. As a pharmacy technician, you end up doing the work of 2.5 people for measly pay.
