Pros

Senior management is good at communicating to all employees via intranet; company places a high value on health and wellness; the business plans for the future of Walgreens are solid and plans are in place to accomplish the goals; learning and development is a priority and much is offered to help employees improve

Cons

Tend to have a revolving door of people because they are on the lower end of the salary range; the corporate campus is a bunch of scattered buildings, which makes it hard to create a cohesive department with people in different buildings

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.
