Pros

I started working at Walgreens as a technician while completing my undergraduate degree before pharmacy school. The company treats its technicians okay but has great opprotunities for pharmacists, which I plan on taking full advantage of.

Cons

The biggest downside of working for Walgreens is the constant cutting of technician hours. Managment expects us to do extra work while constantly cutting our hours based solely on script count.

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.
