Pros

The job has great potential if Walgreens were to hire seasoned manager and actually develop their staff. I have experienced little stress, so my work to home life is good. The pay tops out well but with the performance pay systems takes 10 years plus to reach a livable wage.

Cons

APO,s are not respected and are among the lowest paid employees in the warehouse, despite having more responsibilities. Pay is based on a performance system designed for managers not base employees who have little to no way of excelling due to not being provided training opportunities to advance. The manager send herself to training and tAkes extended lunch breaks but negates to send even one APO so they may acquire new skills. Extremely poor leadership. To fix this I would replace the existing manager along with the regional APM, change to performance pay scale and start with seasoned manager

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.
