Pros

They treat the employees of the store operations generally very well. If you need something, the store manager will often help you. Within the store there is room for you to advance and get raises. If you have their benefits with more than 30 hours, they are amazing.

Cons

If you average less than 30 hours a week for even one month, even by a 0.1 hour, you will automatically lose your benefits. The only real money to be made in comparison with some other retail chains is if you are a pharmacy technician or pharmacist . After 4 and a half years of service, I am only slightly over $10 an hour. If you not want to be in management or pharmacy, Walgreens does not reward you for your work as much as other retailers do like Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, or Costco.

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.
