Pros

-They give chances, a lot of chances -Acknowledges good employees with hours, opportunities, responsibilities (a good thing if you want to prove yourself) -They'll work you to the core if you're really up for it -Environment can be very friendly if you're not working with negative nancies. -Good hours if you're good enough. -Management will back you through any situation or possibility that occurs at work. Sometimes, even outside of work. Great stuff. -Like I've said always, not the same for all stores.

Cons

-Management and nearly everything completely different in every store besides the plan-o-grams -They'll work you to the core if you're really up for it -Since changes of management positions to team leads, the "leads" have all gone really bad or worse. -EXA's are now Assistant Store Managers and are more office ridden than ever before. -Some ASM's are really bad when it comes to working with employee's strengths and weaknesses especially the ones who didn't major in Business. -A lot of your co-workers don't "GET-IT" when it comes to working retail at a Walgreens -Sometimes you have to be able to adjust to working all 3 different shifts, easier said than done. Easier for younger non-student folk like myself to adjust to.

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.
