Pros

walgreens is great place to work because they pay you ok for what you are doing and has an excellent benefits package and it is easy to advance if you are a pharmacist. they really know how to schedule you at the best times and you are never bored.

Cons

Payment is low for the industry. working with customers can be tiresome because they are all sick and they complain all of the time and sometimes it wears on your soul. even if you have thick skin it can be hard to bear because they all yell at you and are never grateful for the work you do for them.

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.
