Pros

The style of company promotion which focuses on promoting from within. Although the company is slowly catching up technology wise you can still tell where some of the traditional aspects of the company have remain unchanged. Depending on the store manager raises can be in the ballpark of 65-85 cents a year, very generous within the retail sector.

Cons

The pay can be low but that is to be expected in retail work. The initial training system which acquaints the work to the Walgreens system could use some work.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
