Pros

Walgreens cares about their employees and pays every employee well. Raises are given once a year to everyone, regardless of how sales were. If other stores are short on available employees, they may ask other stores if their employees are interested in gaining more hours. There is room to move around and for advancement within stores and corporate. Benefits are available after working with the company for 6 months. Everyone working at Walgreens treats one another with respect.

Cons

A variety of customers come into Walgreens every day. Some can be very creepy and stalker-like towards certain employees. There are also some customers who come in angry and will also leave angry and take it out on the employees. Kiosks in the photo department shut down periodically, causing less customers coming in to order digital prints.

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.
