Pros

- When you deploy applications to the cloud, it's a complex network path to the stores.

Cons

- There's a lot of pepped up frustration internally. Some people get to work remotely while others have to come into the office 3 days a week. I've heard through the grapevine this is increasing. - The company is facing significant challenges, and current efforts may not be yielding the desired results. Success often hinges on navigating internal politics to secure resources and advance, which creates a counterproductive incentive structure. This issue is particularly concerning given the difficult times the company is experiencing. - Unclear if Walgreens can truly turnaround the business for susitanble profitability.

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.
