Pros

Great work environment, fast paced, & most pharmacist were easy to work with and helpful with customers. We had a great team of people that worked well together for the most part and help each other when needed. Great place to learn about different drug interactions and brand/generic names for different drugs. Fast paced envoronment made the work day fly by.

Cons

Pay could be better considering the amount of prescriptions filled daily.(800-1000) The 1st and 3rd of the month was hectic but we always managed to get it done. Raises should have been better for those who really went over and beyond the get the job done.

Pros

Since it is retail, It is very flexible with my schedule if I need off for my kids. I also have been able to LEARN a ton of interesting aspects of the comapny and have had the pleasure of working closely with Managers and District Sups and DMs and have hands on experience with Inventory Managment.

Cons

Because it's retail, working odd hours and every weekend is not ideal when I want to spend more time with my family.
