Pros

Good amount of hours for part time employees

Cons

Minimum wage. Management throws all of the work on to the lower employees while expecting them to run register/photo lab. Management never satisfied. Little to no motivation. In my half a year of working at walgreens I only had one manager ever tell me I was doing a good job. Rude customers who don't understand the Balance rewards savings program and/or annoy the hell out of you by stealing register rewards.

Wouldn't ever recommend a pharmacy job at Walgreens

Pros

Can't think of any. The company is getting worse with time, I wouldn't ever fill my prescriptions here (and I'm a pharmacy employee).

Cons

Constant cutting of hours. Dangerous pharmacy environment conditions - we need to fill prescriptions faster with less help. We are getting our pharmacy hours cut every month, even though our prescription volume is constantly increasing. Mistakes are happening left and right, pharmacists are under more stress and pressure to vaccinate and perform health tests to everyone. This is a job, not a career. There is no way to move up. You do the same job everyday, eight hours, getting berated by customers and by your superiors. Pharmacy managers are dropping left and right because there is too much work being given to them. You are required to work on your vacation days. You are expected to use your vacation days to do flu clinics. This is not the company it used to be ten years ago. Crap benefits and crap insurance because we were all thrown into the marketplace. This company is getting cheaper and cheaper by the minute. To anyone interested in a pharmacy job, go ask any pharmacy employee what their honest opinion is. Your pay is capped at some point and won't ever increase; though you are required to work harder and faster.
