I had never thought about being a manager ever until now when a position opened up in the nearby area. What additional responsibility do you have? If offered the position, is it normal to be nervice about being fully in charge of everything. Any thoughts, comments, or experiences would be greatly apprecitated.
Also, a couple additional side questions.
What is their vacation policy like
How is the computer system? is it windows based? everything barcoded and scanned?

Nope, not worth it. Working at a slow store does not mean you have more time to manage because you are using a computer that takes five times longer to fill a prescription versus CVS computer. Oh, no barcode or prescription scanning by the way 
Vacation policy is typical 80 hours so if you work 42 hours a week and 10 hour shifts, that only gives you eight 10-hour days off. Also when you take vacation and have to use rph on the go, that will count against you, not only because you have to have a tech all day, I think if you use extra pharmacist hours that also count against you. I'm not sure how that pharmacist hours work for sure yet. I hope you didn't take the job
