Pros

Strong leadership. Highly ethical. Hard working and dedicated employees who really are proud of being part of Walgreens. Leadership has taken head out of the sand and making difficult decisions and changes needed to continue to be successful and improve. Making changes BEFORE the wolf is at the door. More opportunity than ever coming with the reorganization.

Cons

Job descriptions old or non-existent. No clear career paths. Not enough post-hire training at corporate. Salaries average just below other companies. Not enough performance feedback to learn what you need to do better. Managers don't communicate enough to their employees.

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.
