what do you think about rite aid? what kind of benefits and salary are they offering?
why the heck would anyone invest all that time and money in getting a PharmD to go work retail....
Hey! Lay off the retailers.
And tell me what you know about generic adenosine.
I don't believe in generic drugs. That's for the poor.

We are a little bit bitter here... Maybe because retail pays the most (retail = faster paying off your loans)?
here are some points to consider...in no specific order.
It is far from garbage. I have never since the induction of Nexgen had a situation where we "run out of memory and the whole store goes down" nor had more tahn 5 computer crashes. If anything it is 100X more reliable than RAD's was and not affected as much by weather and other BS. It may run slow at time but so will any other system. It is slower to fill than rads but it is far from garbage. Have you used it?-the computer system is garbage. multiple crashes, slow processing, cumbersome and labor intensive steps make it a nightmare. its alot of fun when you run out of memory and the whole store goes down. better yet when there are 'know issues' that are not resolved for months.
I'll give you this, alot of store are open for regualar hours on Most holidays but is that really that bad?.-open long hrs nearly every holiday
Most non-24 hours stores I know of are 9-9 on saturday and 9-5 on sundays. Horrible I know-many locations open long hrs on the weekends
Who doesn't these days and depending on where you work many don't. I rarely work a drive through store when I float-most have a drive thru
eh-the CEO has a french education degree
I wouldn't know. I don't use their benifits-very expensive health insurance
It's a 50% mix in my districsts. Some stores are big and spacous with plenty of room while the older stores are a little cramped. I has never been intolerable and I have never had the situation where I could not talk to the customer privately. Sorry the every pharmacy in teh world is not a 40,000sf 1month old walgreens-except for the newest design (which there only a few) the rx dept layout is horrible. no privacy (for patients or staff). small cramped work space.
examples? Isn't that standard practice in teh business world?-they talk the talk but come no where close to backing it up or even taking the steps to do so.
What kind of feild techs do you deal with? In my district, when something important goes down the tech is there the same day. If it is a non-critical issue hes there within 36 hours. I have never been 500 in the hole do to a hardware issue. There is also scheduled maint. The scriptpro gets regular check-ups as well as the puters.-no scheduled maint for any hardware. when it crashes and catches on fire you might get a field tech....if he feels like coming out. all the while you'll be 500 rxs in the hole.
so?-they took on an insane amount of debt with the eckerd deal
