Pros

The pharmacist and other pharmacy employees were great to work with. Helpful and encouraging of continued learning.

Cons

Managers and other higher employees of the store were a pain to work with and made things difficult at times. They tried to treat us like regular employees and tried to make use to other things for the store when our main job was within the pharmacy.
