Pros

Decent pay. Ample opportunity to grow and move forward (if your buddies with certain people, and white) GREAT BENIFITS with the walnet and perk spot options. I actually bought my car with a discount from Walgreens perk spot page.

Cons

No one in a power position has respect for the little people. Eben the staff under the manager and under the supervisor look down on you and try to talk to you any way they see fit. There's a lot of people in rolls that they have no business being there. They are unprofessional and lazy. There are NO blacks in manager, supervisor, and or team leads despite them applying for these positions and despite them having just as much if not more experience then some that were chosen for the position. Human resources does absolutely nothing to try and resolve issues that several staff members has brought to their attention hey simply refer you back to you supervisor (the very person you've had issues with) ..oh and the Point system is a ridiculous idea it should be done away with. Mandatory over time that I'd constantly being told I'd going away had been in place forever per a 10th year employee.. Its too much especially when you can't even choose when you can stay and can't stay...

Pros

The staff I worked with are great and the job is very stable and pays well.

Cons

Upper maanagement do not care about the employees. They come up with these new projects and programs but do not give the budget or manpower for it. Staff becomes overwhelmed, more mistakes slip through and it becomes extremely stressful and dangerous to work in that environment. The pharmacy is constantly short staffed and they give us very little time to devote to our patients. They give us unrealistic sales goals with the limited staff budget and do not allow us to work overtime. Morale among the staff is always low and it is hard to keep everyone motivated.
