Pros

Walgreens has good benefits, vacation, paid holidays, 6 sick days per year and even a special day you can take off. My management is great. Will work along side with you to get projects done and lets me take initiative and use my ideas in my department.

Cons

If you were to ask me about 6 months ago, I would have probably not been able to find any cons with my job. However, now with all of the "rewiring" they are doing, it has become increasingly hard to stay motivated and "proud" to work there. When you come to work, you have to worry that you may not have your position with the company. They have cut hours, jobs. I wanted to stay with Walgreens and eventually retire but with all these changes, that may be a thing of the past. What happened to the old Walgreens where they cared about the employees. What about the 4 way test that they have always stood by?

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.
