"Working as a retail pharmacist is really challenging, sometimes you feel that you work in a fast food chain, everything should be instant and fast, but when customers leave your counter with a smile because they were satisfied with their inquiry, then it's fulfilling. On the other hand, working as a hospital pharmacist is more fulfilling because you know that you're part of a team to make patients feel better."
