Pros

Still have great 401K match but I see that coming to an end as all other great benefits have been taken away.

Cons

Poor working conditions for pharmacists. More work added to plate yet few and fewer payroll hours to get it done. Was great place to work when Walgreen family still involved. Used to have the feel of a family run company...work and and you will be rewarded. Now it's just another big company with little respect or regard for it's employees. Current focus is only on what wall street thinks and not the employees.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

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.
