Pros

chances to excel in the medical era (helps you get a pharmacy technician license)

Cons

Everything! Walgreens is nothing but gossip. I have been working for this company for over 3 years and recently notices that everyone hates me at the job. One person already tried to get me fired over nothing, and now I have found out that two of my shift leads hate me. The only reason I haven't been fired yet is that everyone needs me. As the head of the photo department, the senior employee, and pharmacy technician. They will never find someone like me. I am sick and tired of this job. I am done. I am now looking for another job and hope I find one soon.

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.
