Run don not walk away

Assistant manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a pay check , but they own your life 24/7...even on your lunch break, which is only 30 minutes in a 12 hour work day

Cons

They own you.....constant harping on the many unobtainable requirements with a dwindling staff to get the job done, so guess what....the management has to stay till the job is done with NO compensation, at times working overnight, ever increasing paperwork , without reason, except to enslave the store staff to the ever increasing whims of the district manager and above

Pros

employee discount, learning experience for pharmacy responsibilities

Cons

managers always assume you're wrong and they're right; workers are lazy, unreliable, unprofessional...manager delegates work to you when THEY are getting paid to do it...how am I responsible for making the work schedule for other techs? they never apologize.....unfair pay!! an employee I was training as a pharm. tech was getting paid more than I was! --- If i had not spoken up or asked questions, this would never have been fixed...it took 2 months to get in contact w/ the district manager (lower management never responded)...the pay adjustment was not retrospective either....on top of that..the computer system was confusing, customers were always complaining

Business Outlook

Pros

It is good in the end but they refuse to compensate well.

Cons

varrious. The biggest is that the compensation is not keeping up with where it should be. We did not recieve raises last year and this year the pool is less than 2%. This is an insult in a year that we have had strong gains as a total business.
