Pros

It was a great company to work for 10 years ago. Well compensated. If you are crazy enough to take the pharmacy manager position there is an opening about once a month due too high turnover.

Cons

Overwhelming work load since Boots got involved with Walgreens their business model is to "reduce and stretch the staff". Profits take first priority over patient safety. You constantly try to keep up as a pharmacist but more and more metrics are thrown at you. Upper management is not sympathetic and often overbearing. Pharmacists must report to non-pharmacists and often have to explain their rational. Mistakes sometimes go under reported because if you make too many you are put on a performance improvement plan and replaced. If you value your quality of life, it is a good idea to look elsewhere if possible.

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
