      It'll only get worse in the short run

      Pros

      Convenient, my commute isn't too bad. Most people at the store level are decent folks.

      Cons

      Pay freeze, pharmacists didn't get raises past two years running. Corporate doesn't communicate their intentions to store level. Constant cuts to hours. New grad pharmacists hired at 32 hours a week.

      A miserable existence

      Staff pharmacist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Pay and benefits are pretty good. From speaking with other pharmacists, pay may be better at other companies

      Cons

      My biggest peeve is that they have non-professional staff managing the pharmacy. They have no experience in the pharmacy but have way too much influence over the pharmacy manager and on our job. Its no longer about patient care and more about getting surveys and pushing charity donations. They are constantly making cuts to budget and staffing which increases the burden on those who remain. If your store is in a bad area and you have poor management, it becomes a really hostile environment.

      Pros

      The pharmacies and the stores are staffed with good people. Many of whom have worked for Walgreens for decades.

      Cons

      Corporate Walgreen's, like many large corporations, is constantly cutting our hours at the same time, demanding more labor. It is so frustrating always feeling like you have not done your best, no matter how hard you work. Most days I go home feeling like a failure.
