Pros

Helping people in the community, learn a lot about various medications and their effects on the body.

Cons

Not paid enough for the amount of work put into it. Not nearly enough help as we would need. We are told to push various services that Walgreens offer to all of our customers, even though it is not reasonable to expect us to push about a dozen services onto each and every customer, especially when we don't have enough help. Very hard working job due to the lack of hours.

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.
