Pros

This job is ok.....I tell friends to go back to school! its just enough money to keep you there but not enough to get ahead. I do get weekends off and a set schedule.

Cons

Company doesn't care about the little guy...small raises if any at all some years. No chance for advancement...unless your family is already management or you good friends with HR. Your job here will probably be replace by another DC that is newer and they will pay you less. that how Walgreens works. 13 cent raise this year....and CEO get MILLIONS in a single raise each year....and he does nothing...NEVER SEEN him at the DC EVER IN 10 years. Management is truly terrible and HR is their best friends so.......no one stands up for you. If your not a robot or a kiss butt this isn't the job for you. they don't like anyone with opinions or ideas. they have it all worked out for you and hire and fire all the time.

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.
