Pros

Management is pretty flexible with employees in arranging for time off. Its a stable job and can be very predictable. Very hard to get fired at Walgreens only way you can lose your job is if you steal from them.

Cons

Lots of rewiring for growth that involved paycuts and payroll hour cuts. Can't help the customers if you don't have any employees to service people. Expected to do the same amount of work with less people.

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.
