Pros

Earned Vacation time. There are no best reasons beyond that. There used to be many but don't count on being satisfied with your employment with this company. Unless you are a lap dog for a CL or a DM expect to go nowhere with your "career" at walgreens.

Cons

No room for growth. Secretive upper management. Low pay rates with no Merritt raises. Low capped pay rates High turn over Understaffed stores Unengaged store managers who sit in office all day talking on the phone. Open 365 days a year with long hours. Overworked for the pay. No aprreciation for hard work. Just expected to do more. X2 durring holidays. I can go on but hopefully you get the point.

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.
