Pros

-Easy Work for the most part -Options for positions. Don't like your typical retail front? Its relatively easy to transfer to the Pharmacy. -Flexable Schedule -Employee Discounts. (15% off for non-Walgreems items & 25% off for Walgreens Brand items)

Cons

-Constant pushing of items (Recipt surveys, Red Nose, etc) -Not the quickest lateral movement because of it being a smaller retailer. -Having to work holidays. My store you had to work 2 of the 3 big holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Years. Not to mention you don't get ANY holidays off unless it falls on your off day or something like that

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.
