Pros

Good profit sharing but you need to stay with the company a while in order to benefit from this small perk. Small 15% discount for you and your family that live with you and you can combine your discount with sale items and coupons.

Cons

Walgreens has been cutting back on raises and salaries for years, several years back they cut 4 hours of over time for each assistant manager and now they are taking assistant manager positions and renaming them shift supervisor positions where you are doing the work of an assistant manager but making alot less money. They have begun immediately with the overnight managers, the company cut their pay and are having them do the same job but for less money.

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.
