Pros

The working environment at my department is fairly layback. It's great for new graduates, married people, especially ones with kids. The working hour is flexible. You can work from home if needed or push back the deadline. Most of people are nice and seem to have been working at Walgreens forever.

Cons

There is no clear career pace for analytical background people. It's very likely that you report to someone without technical/analytical knowledge. And he/she is not allowed you to have direct reporting. The base salary is Okay, but unlike working in other industries, there is no bonus for analysts at Walgreens.

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.
