      You will be slave driven, for mediocre compensation. - Assistant Manager Walgreens Employee Review

      Pros

      The employees will respect you and corporate will dangle the carrot (having your own store) in front of you which is the only reason most people stay. You will learn a lot and meet a lot of important people. You also come in contact with a lot of vendors so a good day to network if you ever want to work for pepsi-co or coca cola.

      Cons

      I made more as a Barista before college. They put you to work and expect you to run the store within 30-90 days of hands on training. You will work 8.5 hours a day, with a 30 minute lunch, there is no over time and you are on your feet for most of it. Depending on your location, some customers are very difficult to handle.

      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.
