      Somewhat fair but could be improved.

      Pros

      The management respects you as an individual, and not as a number. Full-time employees make almost all their hours. Profit sharing can make you some retirement money. Health benefits are on par with most employers.

      Cons

      The pay isn't all that great. Promotional monies for service clerks are small compared to those earned by photo specialists and beauty advisors. There isn't enough coverage in every department, especially cosmetics and the pharmacy.

      Walgreens gimme a break!

      Assistant manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company offers great benefits if you're a full-time employee. You get profit sharing and stock options which is great! The employees are for the most part adolescents and great to get along with. You also make aquaintances with customers since you tend to get a lot of "regulars." The environment is pretty fast paced since there's always something to do so the shifts tend to fly by! You never have the same day twice!

      Cons

      As an assistant manager, you don't get formal lunches or breaks! You can work 10hr days and not once sit down during your entire shift. Scheduling isn't great there's times you've gotta work 11days straight! The workload is pretty overwhelming especially since you're expected to do the work of two people without extra help half the time! When it comes to training don't count on any! You will literally get trained by an employee for one day and then you're on your own to deal with the demanding customers that expect you to solve all their lives problems!

      Pros

      walgreens is great place to work because they pay you ok for what you are doing and has an excellent benefits package and it is easy to advance if you are a pharmacist. they really know how to schedule you at the best times and you are never bored.

      Cons

      Payment is low for the industry. working with customers can be tiresome because they are all sick and they complain all of the time and sometimes it wears on your soul. even if you have thick skin it can be hard to bear because they all yell at you and are never grateful for the work you do for them.
