Pros

The only positive feature is -- hmm, I can't think of one...

Cons

The attitude of this despicable corporation is that if you are desperate enough to work here they can do whatever they want at your expense. One of my most servile co-workers has been at our place of employment for five years and has of course never seen a raise. We are told it is "mandatory" to con the customers into signing up for the store credit card, which is only appealing to graduates of Trump University. The scam Walgreens' Master Card, with a ludicrous interest rate that is as high as the financial services industry is legally permitted to gouge people for in our state, has now become a widespread laughingstock among the customers. The place reeks of desperation. A smell of failure and impeding bankruptcy is in the air. If I could give Walgreens negative stars below I would. One star is one star too many.

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.
