Pros

Ive been with Walgreens 3 years. The pay is great and it is like a big family. It is by far one of the best companies to work for. They have excellent advancement opportunities and they look out for the employees best interest at all times. They work with everyones schedule. I dont understand why so many people have so much negative things to say about walgreens. However, every district is different. You cant compare Walgreens as a whole from a opinion based on one store or even one district.

Cons

It can be hard labor at times, but the pay is decent and you have to do the hard labor to work your way up. That is the same with any job really. If you dont like to work hard and are afraid to sweat, this isnt the career path for you.

Pros

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Cons

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
