Pros

Walgreens has amazing technology and it makes your job easy. Walgreens pays their pharmacists very well, and all pharmacists get paid the same regardless of experience, based only on position. Benefits accrue based solely on hours worked and years with the company. They are under a lot of scrutiny as a large company, so they try to make everything as fair as possible. Scheduling is very flexible, and the work is flexible in that you can transfer stores if you want to move.

Cons

The atmosphere is fluorescent lighting and tacky floor displays. It's not the kind of place where you would choose to spend time unless you were getting paid.

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.
