Pros

Employee discounts. The few Pros about the company are disappearing fast under new Walgreens CEO

Cons

- Non-existent employee friendly culture. The new Wagreens CEO is Irish and Europeans supposedly value employees but he does not. He is bringing anti-employee friendly culture, chasing profits over employee happiness and in next year or so it will drive new and good talent away. - Below market pay - Frequently changing roles

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.
