Rite Aid Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"To be completed at a future date."

"I've worked about 2 years."

"Not happy as just because I am dating s shift supervisor, other employees treat me like I am doing something wrong. They don't like it as we often work the same shifts. Totally unfair!"

"They hired an employee here at the Ridgecrest store just because she was sleeping with a supervisor. This has created a very uneasy work environment as Susan is not expected to work as hard as others. She gets many personal phone calls when she is working and management does nothing about it. We were told not to park in the spaces close to the entrance but she is allowed to park wherever she wants to."

"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."

"If you are fortunate enough to get a good manager you will have a great experience. If you have a bad manager that will dictate your experience. Pros: Hard working, loyal associates. Cons: Top down leadership styles, fear based leadership, lack of care/concern for employees, poor compensation and benefits, broken dispute resolution system, harassment tolerated, high turnover, low engagement, male dominated, lack of communication and training, poor quality technology."

"Initially I thought I'd made a mistake to accept the cashier job. Extremely rude customers, no support from management, thieves, thugs, fraud. As time went on the thugs and fraud stopped coming it. Finally Loss Prevention was doing something. Now I find the RA I work in to be pleasant and enjoyable with a good team of coworkers with a couple of exceptions."

"Decent place to work with great internal opportunity."

"Not bad, lots of room for advancement."

"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)."

"Rite Aid has been more than a satisfactory employer for me. My supervisor is very personal and likes to know how all of his employees are doing. He frequently meets with each of us one on one, and often discusses our goals and aspirations for our career and offers advice. The work, while not as technical as I would prefer, involves supporting the stores nationwide with various hardware and software problems and getting them fixed (or passing them to a different department if need be)."

"I've worked since the end of high school in 2010. The job has gotten me through school but is not enough to love on."

"I work full time, and don't make much, but for someone in my position with a college degree, I should not be working retail, so that is my fault. The people are nice, and my store is the best I've ever been in, and while the customers and vendors can be a pain, the employees of Rite Aid are friendly and cheerful. If I did not have a degree, I would love working here. But I have a family to support, and I cannot do it on my current hourly rate. I either have to make store manager, or move on."

"I've been working for Rite Aid almost a year now and for the most part it's been a good part time job. However the store manager doesn't really do much and corporate expects you to push people into getting a wellness card. They keep track of how many cards you scan, which is honestly pathetic because not everyone will sign up for it and we get in trouble for it. On the other hand my coworkers are great and a majority of the customers are sweet."

"Rite Aid really needs to upgrade its technology. Things are constantly not working correctly, and makes the job very difficult for employees. The photo machines need to be put in the garbage. They never work! There is also no smart phone capabilities for the machines or apps to interact with them. Rite Aid, where are you in the this quickly advancing world of technology"
