Pros

There are very good people who work at Walgreens from Manager level on down. For those "regular joes", they work hard to do the best they can with the support they are given.

Cons

Promotions and achievements are not given out fairly nor according to HR standards. Much of your success is based upon whether you are liked by Sr. Management or not. If not, it's best to move on to another company.

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.
