      Micromanagement is running wild at Walgreens

      Pros

      Excellent benefits package, great computer system, pharmacist compensation is fair and based upon local market trends, store employees are very friendly and talented and make sure to take care of each other.

      Cons

      Upper management is extremely profit driven to the point of obsession. Micromanagement of the pharmacies and stores is epic and bothersome. Staff is treated more like numbers and dollar signs vs. living, breathing human beings with emotions.

      Walgreens-the pharmacy I don't trust

      Store manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pay-but be prepared to work your butt off and have no family time. I worked 65 plus hours a week and was let go because of an hour discrepancy.

      Cons

      There is no ethics or morality in this market.........hard work,dedication and loyalty to the company mean nothing.......too many cliques. Budget cut backs only hurt customer service....you can't service your customers when you don't have any help on the floor or the store manager is back in the pharmacy helping because they are short-handed. They expect you do something with nothing.Numbers, Numbers, Numbers.......that's all they are interested in.

      Walgreens, the best your gonna get in retail.

      Pros

      Corporate maintains a strict no prejudice (i.e. race, sexual orientation) work environment. Excellent health benefits and profit sharing benefits (for retail). Same sex couples get the same level of health care.

      Cons

      Retail is awful in general.
