Rite Aid Employer Reviews

This company has so much potential but falls short due to its managment structure. The company has no true training program for its associates and therefore when positions open that are higher than entry level they hire from outside rather than promote from within. They usually start entry positions near minimum wage and give 2 to 3% raises yearly meaning – more...  someone would have to work with them for 4 to 5 years to simply gain a $1 an hour raise. No raise exceptions outside the annual review. The company does treat its customers very well, but likes to nickel and dime associates with pay cuts, etc. – less

Rite Aid is a great place to work. I have been here for 5 years and it is more then just a place of work, it is a family. I began as a cashier and have progressed into a Shift Supervisor position. I help my boss select new applicants and the employees on how to improve their daily work routine and let them know what they are doing right to help them – more...  stay motivated. I have learned to put through invoices and take care of customer problems. There have been situations where we as a team needed to come up with a solution to help both customer and co-worker and have benefited both. Learned about HIPAA and Code of Ethic and the Do s and Don't s of both. The hardest part of my job is when we are not able to come up with a perfect solution to help a customer or find a product for them. I love seeing when my co-workers are happy at their job and when I know they are happy to come into work not just to work but to be happy with the people they work with. – less

Always kept busy doing something, and got meet alot of cool people doing it too.

I HAD A GREAT TIME WHILE WORKING IN RITE AIDE PHARMACY. ATER 10 DAYS OF MY JOING THE PRESIDENT OF THE COMPANY VISITED AND THEY WERE VERY HAPPY WITH MY WORK.

This company was a nice place to work at. The employees were very close and made it feel like a home and family.

The managers at rite aid were great. They understand the fact that you were and school. They would try any way to help you with your schedule.

Rite-aid was my first real job. I learned alot there. Management was very unorganized.

Many duties during the course of a day. Work well with my coworkers. My manager is great.

It's a neighborhood store with alot of the same customers, and I could walk to work and could run to the store in a few minutes if needed. When I started it was Eckerd Pharmacy and Rite Aid took over shortly after. The transition was stressful on everyone but we learned valuable skills. In this job I was given the same responsibilities as the Store – more...  Manager in every way. I received more experience there then any other management job I've had in the past. – less

A day at Rite Pharmacy is very enjoyable. I always learn something new everyday. My knowledge regarding medications has increased tremendously form working at Rite Aid. Sometimes there are bad days when the pharmacy gets really busy, but then all my co-workers are really helpful. Together we make a good team. The hardest part of the job is the responsibility – more...  of making sure that no mistakes are made, but then at the same time learning about medication and working with such great people makes my job fun and enjoyable. – less

Even though the compensation and the possibility of advancement were slim to none, I loved working there. Besides the irate customers not having their prescriptions ready before they even walked into the store to hand it to you, (sarcasm) the co workers were all very nice, I enjoyed doing that aspect of the job, I am trying to go back.

Good company to work for. in the two years i worked there i was promoted. but the management has no respect for there employees. which was why i left.

Experienced variable challenges typically everyday.
All aspects of store operations,profit/lost,hiring,training/developing,

recognizing,praising,rewarding and celebrations were the most
enjoyable. – less

Well as soon as I get it I make sure to take all the medicine bags and file them in the right place so that when a costumer comes to pick them up the person who rings it up knows where to find it. After that I then either assume the cashier position for about an hour or so, or I start typing up the scripts and entering them into our system so that they – more...  can be filled. While doing all of this you have to deal with all sorts of customer problems such as billing, insurance, trying to juggle filling with helping the people out. Toward the end of my shift I start to reload the medicine machine with vials of all sorts and then I restock up on certain things that need to be filled up. All in all the day is always busy, but for 7.25 it's kind of a joke, no incentive to wanna work there whatsoever.

As far as the co-workers go, I'm very close with most of them. They are all very nice people who will do anything to help you out in anyway and if you need to take a sick day no one will say anything to you about it no one gives anyone a hard time, and in a way their like your family sometimes you will argue but at the end of the day everyone in my Pharmacy is a great person.

I've learned a lot of things over the months I've worked here. You learn what certain types of medications do what, what the generics are for that medication and how it should be used. You also learn a lot about insurances and how they bill the customers. – less

long hours and bad company neeed to update the systems find better ways to maintain stock room

A very challenging atmosphere specially due to lack of ancillary help. I enjoyed the responsibilities and challenges for almost 20 years working as a pharmacy manager, but recently due to financial crisis for the coeporate the downsizing has led to stressful work atmosphere due to lack of help. I maintained the excellent customer service with 10-15 – more...  minutes wait but the managerial work began to get overwhelming due to which I was forcrd to resign after 20 years of dedicated service mainly because i could not compromise with customer service. – less

I was a field service tech for Rite Aid. Due to an illness in my family I had to leave Rite Aid. I wish I could have kept the job. The management was one of the better I have ever delt with.

I am field HR Business Partner no day is ever the same. My job is rewarding and challenging everyday.

a typical day at work was dealing with nice and some rude customers stocking shelf and making up shedules and payroll
