Pros

My boss was amazing i loved her but they can change the store manager and the pharmacists at anytime. Our store managers got replaced multiple times. scheduling was flexible and i got days off that i wanted most of the time. Also has 2 week unpaid vacations and can use PTO for that.

Cons

Corporate does not care about its employees and likes to throw more work at them without considering how bad customer service has gotten. We were always short staffed and had a million things to do. The changed hours multiple times and now that pharmacies were closing because there are no pharmacists and walgreens fired them all last year. Less hours means 20x more work and longer waiting times for customers. Covid tests both pcr and rapid, covid vaccines about 50 a day, filling rx, typing, helping customers in long lines, daily chores/tasks that have to be completed that same day or we get in trouble, taking long phone calls bc the phone rings non stop and the list goes on. All of this with like 2 people working is horrendous and walgreens should be reported for making its employees go through hell. The pay sucks too! We were a very busy pharmacy as is before covid and they dumped more work on us that we cant handle. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE

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

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.
