Pros

The best reason to work for walgreens is they offer compitive pay when compared to other employeers, especially walmart. They are also flexable on the schedule, which is good for me since i am a college student. Also the work load in the pharmacy is less on an individual when compared to walmart who always under schedules to save money.

Cons

The downside of working for walgeens in they don't give you breaks, or if you make an issue of it they well make sure your schedule sucks, as i have heard. Also personally I dont like have to remember althese sign on code like 5 of them each with a hard password.

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.
