Pros

Opportunities benefits are acceptable if not better than average Walgreens pays great for the retail seeing depending on what region/area you’re in a human resources department seems to handle situation pretty well.

Cons

You need to have the right manager to really go anywhere. Walgreens cost cutting it’s pretty heavy leaving stores short staffed the workload and work life balance in management is poor and there has been some issues regarding retaliation and discrimination due to sexual orientation and or gender status

Pros

Good company to work for

Cons

- A lot of phones ringing that you have to answer that require a lot of work that it holds you off on your current tasks for awhile. They need to do something about the phones ringing all the time.

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.
