It’s ok for people who want to stay in a retail setting. There’s always things to do. But nothing never changes. - Certified Pharmacy Technician Walgreens Employee Review

Pros

Lot of things to do so you stay busy. Walgreens does offer medical for you after 3 months. Flexible hours if you’ve been there for a while.

Cons

Senior pharmacy techs don’t like to teach. Don’t feel like you’re growing most of the time or learning anything new. Practically have to beg to be shown something. Not a good thing.

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.
