Pros

As an assistant MGT, its a great entry level position. One learns many different aspects within the RX/ drug store industry. Assistant MGT's are given raises twice per year. Walgreens does offer medical, dental and vision. Furthermore, Walgreens does give employees a 10% percent discount on wag stock considered as a profit sharing iniciative.

Cons

As an Assistant MGT, forget about having life during the weekends, nights and holidays. Furthermore, you will be transfered to different Walgreen stores throughout your district during the year which can become tiresome.

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.
