Pros

The pay is alright, and it is nice that that the company is growing so the stores are becoming closer and closer to everyone. Both my store manager and district manager are nice hard working guys, so that makes work a little easier. My favorite thing about working for Walgreens was the overtime, but corporate just did away with that. My coworkers are fun and make work go by fast most of the time. All of the mgt's at my store look out for each other when it comes to covering shifts and stuff of that nature. Upward mobility seems possible, which is why im still with them after 18 months.

Cons

the hours are kinda rough, retail hours can have you working til 11 one night, only to be back in the store at 7am. the 90 year old customers that frequent the store are annoying as hell, but i guess that is common for retail. Resets are a pain, and are given to us way to frequently. checking in vendors is also a pain, b/c none of them even make an effort to put their products up right, or in a timely fashion. I also hate giving refunds to people who over half the time dont even have their receipt.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
