Pros

When I interviewed to work at Walgreens, it looked like it was a great place to work with lots of opportunities for advancement.

Cons

Since Walgreens ended its relationship with Express Scripts and the growth of Walgreens as a company as a whole has greatly declined, it looks like promotions will be slim to none in the near future. Also, a lot of rumors going around about drastic changes to pharmacy, management, and store structure in general. Job security is a thing of the past.

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.
