Pros

Well, this company is very helpful and has a good future because it runs on a debt free company that does not owe too much money. Job security is the best reason to work for this company because it is a pharmancy retailer and the government will help out to make sure that it does whatever it can so it can keep running and making prescriptions for customers. It is a company with many stores and is continuing to open more every single year. Overall this is a pretty good company to work for and Walgreens will be around for a long while.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working in walgreens is that there are not alot of people around to help you complete your tasks. There are also too many outs in the store that leaves many customers unsatisfied with the products that are not in the shelf that were advertised on the ad. Managers alot of the times need to be overpaid stockers as their primary job because the company does not hire people for solely stocking perposes. Hours can be as early as 4 pm and as late as evening for some stores and 24 hours for others. The are open 365 days a year.

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.
