Pros

None at this point. Maybe in a year or two, when all the "boys club" is gone, there will be opportunities for fair advancement for all, not just inner circle. The only good point about Walgreens is a lot of good and hard working people, who are unfortunately struggling day to day because of very poor management.

Cons

Poor/inexperienced management, career advancement depends on connections, not experience and hard work. Boys club, very inner circle, who get promoted and keep their jobs despite of poor management, poor performance and tons of problems at the upper management level. The morale is very low.

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.
