Compared to chains, grocery pharmacy's a walk in the park. Having said that, often times it becomes too bland. Ok for those who like that kind of pace

Overworked, no staffing

The pay isn't bad and the union is good, but staffing is an absolute joke. They can't hire anyone to save their lives and you are expected to do the work of often 3+ people.

Fun work place, bad career

It was a good job while I worked there. Good people and possibility to advance in the company. Average pay. Would not recommend as a career as managers and upper management get fired quickly.
