Pharma Plus

A typical day at work consisted of counting my cash at the beginning of my shift and going over the weekly sales that were occurring. I would set up at one of the cashier stations and help customers with their purchases. I put out new products and stocked shelves.
I worked on my customer service skills, helping customers find what they were looking for and doing returns.
The management was not around very often, and I usually only worked with one other cashier on my shift. We took turns on cash and helping customers on the floor.
The hardest part of the job was when we got very busy, since you want to make every customer feel they have your full attention, while trying to run the cash as fast as possible.
The most enjoyable part of the job was learning about the different products we carried, and getting a discount on purchases.

I was with Pharma Plus/Rexal for approx 2 yrs. In coming from a larger retailer this company showed a strong desire to grow in the market to become a leading role in the pharmacy sector. Thier systems and culture aren't yet to ensure efficiency.They lack a clear vision to succeed, this is felt from both customers and associates.I enjoyed thier high level of expectation of standards but need to improve on support training of management.At store level the culture and spirit to succeed was oustanding and a pleasure to part of. Pharma Plus/Rexal has a large amount of talent which could lead to great potential in meeting thier goals of success.

Although a generally a nice place to work, the floor staff seem to control what management is able to do. You are spread apart between two to three stores as i was asked to 'fill in' a number of times, also i lived in Mississauga at the time and they sent me to Whitby to start working for them later transferred only an hour away.
The staff is friendly but they all want to be in control.

Very fast-paced environment, staff hrs keep getting cut-back so more is expected of management ie, working longer hrs. Co-workers were great; friendly, helpful, like a family. A lot of responsibilities on Management to get things done in a timely manner. Enjoyed greeting and chatting with regular customers and meeting new customers.

excellent company to work for. Have to be able to to be flexible in hours work and the more experience you have the better

A typical day at work would be greeting customers in a friendly and welcoming manner. I leaned a lot about customer service. Worked well with management

I had the opportunity to learn and work in various departments including pharmacy, postal centre, merchandising and cashier.
If you show an interest and there is a opening the management team will make it happen.
