Think about the individuals, work for the individuals! In these jobs, the people you are helping have a serious need - sometimes life or death.

April - August 2019 • Island Lake, IL
What I liked
It was a typical cashier job. Smaller store meant more responsibility for the associates. I had to stock, clean, cashier, print photos, etc
What I wish was different
Nothing really. It was a decent job for what it was.
Advice
If you hate cashier, don't get this job. Lots of the associates hated it and tried to force me onto cashier all the time.

Certified Pharmacy Technician
May 2018 • Princeton, NJ
What I liked
Working as a pharmacy technician my second year of college was really helpful to me, as it introduced me to the material I would be studying. I got to familiarize myself with the medications and policies that I am now learning about as a third year pharmacy student.
What I wish was different
It was really difficult at first to adapt to such a fast pace environment, so I wish my training had been to shadow another technician instead of trial and error.
Advice
Apply to multiple locations, be prepared to work in a fast pace retail setting, and always ask questions if you are unsure of the proper procedures!
