Pros

co-workers are generally good. Respect from regular customers who notice how hard you work. After a year you get 5 days paid vacation.

Cons

You have to prove that you're sick or else be harassed by the manager. Managers don't back you up to customers who are clearly trying to get more for less. Customers will berate you for trying to card them even though Walgreens states it's "card under 40" policy. Open every day of the year. EVEN CHRISTMAS. No such thing as a regular work schedule. No in-store advancement possible unless someone over you quits.

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.
