Pros

I like most of our customers and enjoy giving treats to dogs that come with to drive up window

Cons

They don't spend enough time training you before they throw you right in (its about profits). They put inexperienced techs in and expect the pharmacist to take up all the slack while an experienced tech would not have to spend 20 minutes doing nothing while on hold. Then management comes in to chastise me for not meeting quota. They don't realize that I can't do MY job if I'm doing the clerking, etc.

Pros

Walgreens is a great company that really does care about it's employees. There are many opportunities for advancement. I enjoyed working for Walgreens.

Cons

As an assistant manager, it is a little harder to get certain days off. However, the company tries to work around your schedule the best they can.

Pros

Best Pay in industry for retail assistant manager Great Profit Sharing matches 2:1 first 2% of salary 100% guaranteed no vesting. Variety of work, tasks, duties. Feels like you get involved in how to run a business. Upper Management listens, good open door policy.

Cons

Horrible work/life balance Unpredictable hours during a work week, never the same, always changing Under staffing makes daily work more difficult and very stressful Depends on what store you are put in as far as difficulty of job, can be transferred at any time miles away
