Pros

There is a Walgreens on almost every corner! If you like working in a fast-paced environment, then it the perfect job for you.

Cons

You associate with the same people every day! Whether they're your co-workers or your customers. The workload is ridiculous, it really feels like you're working at a fast food joint! Usually customers will not be understanding if a problem occurrs and you will definitely have to know how to multi-task! Unfortunately mistakes get made, maybe not every day, but they do get made.

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.
