Pros of working at Rite Aid

Nothing!

Cons of working at Rite Aid

Being called into work all the time, when someone call in sick-or no show or simply not enough employee’s. So you’re called in all the time. Always work nights and week ends. Store managers don’t want to work nights and week ends, so they schedule supervisors and assistants. It’s relentless, a life time of on call- nights- weekends. No sense of fair play. And not even a living wage.
