Pros

You learn a lot about healthcare / pharmacy, work with some nice people

Cons

They were becoming increasingly strict with your allowance off the phone time, moving towards making it so that you couldnt use the bathroom even once without going out of adherence. You have to wear a lot of hats and it's a lot to remember, know, and do, for relatively little pay or recognition. You bear all the rage of disgruntled customers even when you go above and beyond, if another department screws up you get yelled at.

Pros

Working here I've learned so much about healthcare and insurance. I work with an amazing team, and am lucky to have some great bosses.

Cons

Walgreen's is leaning away from individualized patient care and focusing more towards hitting numbers ("metrics"). This includes allowing less technician hours and more irrelevant responsibilities such as the ever-increasing calls that solicit their new programs, almost to the point of patient harassment. There is simply not enough time for these calls to get done in addition to the other, more pressing, tasks at hand. When these calls are not done, your pharmacy loses even more tech hours.
