Pros

If you enjoying helping customers, this is the best reason. Other than that, making things right. For example, resets and revisions. Clean the department up and make it shine! I enjoy making my store neat and clean, better than Wal-Mart.

Cons

Lack of support from store and district management, lazy store employees, backstabbing co-workers, gossip, and all the bad decisions corporate is making to save a penny. Constant resets and revisions are another draw back. The expect quick turn around time, but that won't happen now! The worst downside of working at Walgreens right now is all the cuts, what else are they going to do???

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.
