      It's a job... - Assistant Manager Walgreens Employee Review

      Pros

      -Get to work with plenty of good people. Employees are well-chosen (at least in my store). -Learning how to manage people should be a valuable skill. -Learning all aspects of the store from the front end to the pharmacy.

      Cons

      -If you have bad managers, you will suffer. Fortunately my store has two good ones (and I think I'm one of those!). -Irate customers. -It pays better than unemployment (just barely!)... -Upward mobility requires massive hours at work. Store managers work 6+ (10+ hours per day) days per week. Ridiculous! -Can't the biggest drugstore chain in the world afford better equipment? The registers are in serious need of upgrading, along with the photo lab equipment. Seem that they spend most of the money on the pharmacy.

      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.
