Pros

Only a few things were decent about working at Walgreens including the title of the job looks more prestigious than it is, the set schedules, and the occasional friendly customers.

Cons

There is no room for career growth as a technician unless you go back to school to become an actual pharmacist. They don't care about you as a person, but rather only their profits. You are exposed to sick people all of the time and the goal is to help the sick customers, but if you are sick yourself you don't get the same treatment. Managers were very often on power trips and were not concerned with the well being of employees. Customers were often very rude and would get mad at you when their insurance wouldn't cover something. Any time something went wrong, customers and management would blame the lower levels.

Pros

They do have good benefits and do give room for advancement.

Cons

The hours. They are all over the place. Long days sometimes 10 hours which is far to long for retail.
