      Pros

      Some of the best reasons to work at Walgreens as a pharmacist: flexible hours if floater, good 401k matching.

      Cons

      Incompetent store management at some stores, filling set numbers of prescriptions, not getting to counsel patients that much because of poor efficiency standards based upon prescriptions filled, wait times, etc...

      Pros

      I worked in 2 stores-one was top 2 or 3 in the district in sales and the other was a new store that I opened and it was slow (boring). I enjoyed the people at both stores. Had good managers to work with with the exception of an exa at the 1st. Most customers at both stores were friendly and I enjoyed working with them and the staff.

      Cons

      Cutbacks, cutbacks, cutbacks--ugh. Store hours are being CHOPPED. It's one thing to be competitive and another to simply invite thieves who will easily rob you blind due to the lack of help anymore. Retail is what it is--seasonal hours can suck. Scheduling up and down destroying your natural biorythms (working nights then getting up early and doing that day shift--it happens often here!). Pay is just "ok". The Management growth track is now way too long to get your own store. Many, many mgts were let go last year in the restructuring and the exa classes (at least in my area have been cut back drastically). I could rant quite a bit--was glad when I left.
