Business Outlook

Pros

- Staff is hardworking and friendly - You never have the same day twice in retail - Priceless management experience - Usually a great environment unless a district manager passed through

Cons

If you're not a man, it's very difficult to progress in this company. This a "good old boys" company through and through. I value my time here for the experience in management that I did learn. I mostly learned how not to handle a team of individuals and to respect my employees. Lack of benefits concerning holidays and how sick pay cane be used were a concern.

Pros

The environment is very relaxed and focused on patients.

Cons

You are in a grocery store and they don't really understand pharmacy as a whole very well. You spend a lot of time educating store managers about things you can and cannot do.
