Working at Rite Aid in Springfield, OH: 1 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Springfield, OH Area

"When I was hired into the company I only wanted to just be a sales associate, I had no experience on being a manager but I decided to take the Shift lead position. Upon being hired into the store I was told that there was not a general manager and that I’d be the only full time management here. Other managers from other stores stopped in and helped when they could but for the most part it was me and a full time sales associate and 2 part time associates. I make 11$ an hour and was expected to get the store in tip top shape even though I’m the only manager there beside the part time one. Once we finally got a general manager she was not happy how the store looked and blamed me for the most of it. Once I explained her the situation she was more understanding. I was there for 5 days and received my keys, I had absolutely no training on anything. Plus I just found out that pharmacy techs are getting 15$ an hour, while I’m only getting 11$ for being a manager. I know Pharmacy and Front End are different departments but we do the same amount of work."
