Pros

Employee appreciation discount day. Extra discount.

Cons

Management is terrible and HR is a joke. All they do is complain about the things you don’t do and will call you out for it every single day. You will be emotionally and mentally drained after working for this company. Make sure you have another job lined up or you’re constantly job seeking so you can get out of here as soon as possible. i’m normally smarter about reviewing jobs before I take them and I made a mistake when I didn’t do it before joining Walgreens.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
