Pros

Walgreens is everywhere, so can move just about anywhere and still have a job

Cons

Walgreens corporate does not care about it's employees or their families. They preach about being a family oriented company to the public, but on the inside they only care about having to answer to the shareholders. Walgreens is the perfect example of what corporate America is. It's pretty sad when the last family member of the Walgreens founder decides to leave his own company due to the direction the company is going. Walgreens is using the bad economy we're in and taking advantage of it to make changes that effects it's store management salaries and futures and their families, yet every month there's sales increases as a company.

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.
