Pros

Job Security. This is a company mostly run by pharmacists. Walgreens does pay very well. We tend to have the most advanced software in the pharmacy world. Pharmacists are treated very well.

Cons

Poor decisions made by upper level staff that doesnt make sense in a real world situation but looks good on paper. Upper level management tends to make decisions that do not really fit or work in a real world situation. This is a true cooporation in which the problem lies with cutting you hours, getting more work, then getting asked why the work isnt done. Treat non-pharmacy employees like pawns.

The only cause of the cons that come with a job with people don’t come into work.

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.
