Hello all,

I wanted to apply to CVS/Walgreens/etc..
Before I did that, I wanted to talk to a community pharmacist and see what it was like working in that setting. I'm actually still in high school. I contacted a student hiring manager and he connected me with a nearby CVS pharmacist. I'm going to meet him tomorrow to talk to him and I wanted to prepare a few questions to ask.

I have a few in mind but wanted to see what you guys think I should ask.

Thanks for your assistance.

Since its a chain pharmacists, you can ask how much control corporate actually allows him to have in his own pharmacy

Also other points to touch on:

-the stress level
-the student loans
-satisfaction & purpose
-prospects for the profession in the future


edit: sorry, noticed you made this thread yesterday...guessing the advice is too late

If you want to do community pharmacy, I HIGHLY recommend checking out the grocery store pharmacies instead.
