Pros

* Compensation is wonderful * Bonuses for selling flavoring or WCARD memberships. Unbelievably easy money. * I am always learning. After three years I am still enjoying learning new things about insurances. TPR's are my favorite problems to figure out. * My favorite part is the fast pace. You are expected to move and keep moving all day at my store. This makes the day go by extremely quick and I enjoy being kept on my toes. Answering calls, filling a prescription, solving a TPR, then having to race to the window to help a customer or run to a terminal for data entry. There is always something to do and I love it.

Cons

The hours can be very non-family friendly. I have a daughter in grade school and some days I see her for an hour in the morning before school and then for an hour at night before bed. If I'm lucky sometimes I only see her before school because you have to work late. Walgreen's fair scheduling requires one night during the week and so many weekends a month depending on the store and what employees are able to work. I end up working lot's of night shifts while my fellow single and childless coworkers work mostly day shifts.
