      Pros

      Flexible scheduling, GREAT co-workers, pharmacy manager really cared about her staff.

      Cons

      Our store was given the bare minimum number of hours to work with, our store regularly filled over 500 scripts/day and we would have maximum of 4 technicians working. Corporate seemed to think we were superhuman and could sell scripts while typing up and filling new ones, unloading our daily order, resolving insurance problems, and deleting old prescriptions. This made the job much more stressful than necessary, I would dread going to work knowing I would be running around the pharmacy for 8 hours. Also paid very little compared to other retail pharmacies.

      Pros

      15% discount on most items, 20% discount on Walgreen brand items. Profit sharing. Flexible schedule. Shift Leads can not be transferred since they are not management. Holiday pay.

      Cons

      When I first started with the company over 10 years ago, you received an extensive amount of training that prepared you for your first day on your own. Now you only get a week at max and you are on your own. If after a few weeks you are still not performing up to expectations you are disciplined. Pay has been decreased by a lot. I took a 25% pay cut when the company restructured in April 2014. The company continues to put more on our plate without giving us any extra hours to be able to get the job done. When they job does not get done across the company, they add it to a KPI to monitor it more closely show they can send out daily emails asking why stuff is not getting done and what are we doing to improve it. The company operates at normal store hours every day of the year 8 am till 10 pm. The main reason they are making so many cuts is due to the purchase of a European company to set them up for a global market since they have maxed out in the US market. This was not a cheap buy so to please the share holders they have to make cuts where they can to make sure the stocks don't suffer. As with most public companies, the share holders come first, customers second and employees last. You no longer get sick days. You must use your PTO time to be paid. If you call off 9 times in a year you lose your job.
