Good place to work if you can tolerate long hours, rude customers, and have the patience to process insurance claims. - Pharmacist Walgreens Employee Review

Pros

The best reasons are the pay and benefits. Also, being a national company with many locations, I can move and still stay with the company. Walgreens is also technologically advanced with a great computer system that links all its stores so it is easier to know the history of and to serve a customer that does not always visit the same store.

Cons

It can get very busy and some of the customers are not worth dealing with. There are always plenty of problems ranging from insurance issues to customer complaints which leaves little time to provide for proper patient care (i.e. patient counseling).

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

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.
