Cons

drive through is annoying, heavy load of work with little compensation, sometimes they cut hours if you fall under a certain amount of hours you loose benefits and if you can't achive certain hourly amount you cannot become a Sen. Tec, even thoug you do all the Sen. Tec. work, employee satisfaction is not a strong side of walgreens,

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.
