Pros

You would put your ava. times in the systems and the manager(s) would still schedule you for the times that you can not work, so you have to end up calling in.

Cons

Not far in making the schedule, show favortism to certain employees. Do not care if you or your family are sick (esp. your kids)

Pros

I loved helping the customers and learning about the different medications and medical conditions. The hours were not bad either.

Cons

As with any retail pharmacy, you will get screamed at and called names. It really depends on how busy of a Walgreens you work at for what kind of experience you will have. I worked at a small one without a drive-thru and I loved it, but I hated subbing at very busy stores where I stood at the drive-thru the entire time.

Pros

In my experience the assistant managers and executive assistant managers are usually pretty cool you will of course get the bad eggs.

Cons

Store managers are usually very lazy or hard and think work is the only thing in your life. Co workers are generally pretty lazy. No support from corporate, at all. The customer is always right. Even if they physically harm you and yes I have seen it. No where near enough store hours especially in the pharmacy. Nothing like being the only manager on duty and having to catch calls in 3 different departments all while corporate is saying "deal with it." Corporate hides there numbers, of course profit is up you have cut over a thousand hours in my district alone.
