Pros

The best reason to work at Walgreens is that there are so many pharmacies you can work at, so you don't spend time and money to get to your job. Second, you can impact the lives of so many people that visit these pharmacies educating them about the use of their meds and health products.

Cons

There is no work and life balance because you will probably end working night shifts and holidays if you are not a manager. They do not have rotative shifts as they tell you when they hire you. Also, ther is no double pay for working extra hours, just pay and a half.

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.
