Pros

Flexible schedule (but only do to lack of employees(which is do to such high turnover rates)) That’s really all.

Cons

Ive been with Walgreens for awhile now and I can honestly say that the merge with Boots was that single worst mistake Walgreens could have ever made. Now Walgreens wasn’t the best before this either. Walgreens only cares about money not employees, anyone in the actual store including management have zero say in nearly everything. The budget cuts are beyond unrealistic, in the past six months I’ve seen PHARMACISTS have to leave stores and search for hours or just out right leave. These are people with doctorates!!! The pay to workload ratio is outrageous, Walgreens will grind you down and work you like a dog. I would never recommend anyone to work for Walgreens under the current circumstances. The cons are countless!

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.
