Pros

good benefits and 401K plan; decent pay;good computer system; job security;fairly easy to transfer to other locations within company if you have to move

Cons

very high stress environment; expected to do more and more with less support hours i.e technicians; every move you make is monitored-corporate knows how long it takes you to answer the phone, how long it takes to fill a prescription during each step, etc; you are expected to do the work of 2 pharmacists with no bathroom or lunch breaks; day and evening shifts with no consistency-sometimes you are lucky to be able to go home for 8 hours before you have to start it all again; constant interruptions- multi tasking does not even begin to cover it.; usual corporate BS-paint a pretty picture for when upper management comes- you are encouraged to voice your opinion unless of course it does not coincide with managements view

Pros

Had a pretty good salary but it is still a job in retail management. If you have a good store manager it is better.

Cons

Both late and early shifts, sometimes back to back. Managing retail at Walgreens means you really do everything another employee does like unloading trucks on truck day, processing photos, and working the front cash register.
