3.2 I am currently as a pharmacy clerk at Rite Aid who is waiting for her pharmacy technician license to come in the mail. I work part time, and was expecting to be paid $12/hour because one of the technicians told me when he first started out, he got $12/hour (as a clerk, and $14/hour when he got his technician license). But, because this is my first job, (fresh out of high school) I agreed to $10/hour. I'm not sure if it's fair to be paid less because I work part time. When my license comes in the mail, I will definitely settle for more. The coworkers are okay, some I love as a person, but some who could use a bit work on treating customers fairly. For example, the pharmacy I work at is really busy, but we lack hours for technicians because of a store limit. At one point, we had about 270 prescriptions to do "for the day" aka, we were behind already, and it piled up badly. My store has 6 technicians/clerks (just me). When we are behind, and customers want to wait for their meds, sometimes we have to tell them to wait for an hour (and it's sometimes not even an hour because no one worked on it). But what really frustrated me was when there were some regulars who were more friendly or familiar with a technician working who got their meds in literally 10 minutes. There's a lack of fairness in treatment on customers, but I'm pretty sure this happens almost everywhere that deals with lots of customers. All in all, coworkers inside and outside the pharmacy are friendly towards each other, but I should not be paid $10/hour (same as a normal cashier) for the customers I have to deal with. My role requires for me to be more patient, learn how to use a complicated pharmacy program, and deal with some angry customers whose meds aren't done yet (which most of the time, isn't my fault, but are my coworkers fault because they are in charge of processing prescriptions, and they receive them at the drop off window). But, at least I get more than minimum wage (saving up for college).

1.5 I have worked as a Shift Supervisor for Rite Aid on two separate occasions. The first time I worked there for 6 years, and the second time for 8 very long months. The first time was far better than the first because I had an amazing team to work with. The second time was a nightmare. Rite Aid has never really cared about it’s store employees, but before the pandemic our stores were fully staffed and the workload manageable. Now it’s a whole other story. The corporate structure is woefully out-of-touch with the realities of what is actually happening in their stores. Stores are dangerously understaffed because company pay isn’t competitive. I recently left for an easier job making a lot more money. Corporate makes one change after another with the expectation of immediate implementation on a store level. Not one change they’ve made has even been feasible. Corporate bigwigs dictate from their Ivory Tower while the folks actually doing the work in their stores are drowning. There’s no real opportunity for advancement. If you hire in at store level that’s exactly where you’ll stay. I have a Master’s degree, and a friend of mine has a degree from Univ. of Michigan, and neither one of us would ever be considered for a job at corporate level. It’s a sad state of affairs at Rite Aid. They’re going downhill fast.

1.1 Underpaid, understaffed and often overworked. Stores pair just one cashier and one shift supervisor who are expected to handle an entire store. That in tandem with lack of hours and constantly being 'on-call' (or having your schedule changed at the last minute) at the most inconvenient times due to the understaffing and high turnover rate made this job even more stressful than it should be. You're also expected to attend company meetings which really do nothing because the employee's concerns are rarely if ever noted. Being expected to do the job of more than one person, handle an entire store, lack of professionalism among management on top of dealing with the stresses that come with customer service roles, all for minimal pay, no benefits and not enough hours to make a living, takes it's toll real quick. Try paying employees a livable wage, have a solid staff that shares duties for all shifts, security for safety and actually care about the people manning the stores instead of mistreating them.
