Pros

* Compensation is wonderful * Bonuses for selling flavoring or WCARD memberships. Unbelievably easy money. * I am always learning. After three years I am still enjoying learning new things about insurances. TPR's are my favorite problems to figure out. * My favorite part is the fast pace. You are expected to move and keep moving all day at my store. This makes the day go by extremely quick and I enjoy being kept on my toes. Answering calls, filling a prescription, solving a TPR, then having to race to the window to help a customer or run to a terminal for data entry. There is always something to do and I love it.

Cons

The hours can be very non-family friendly. I have a daughter in grade school and some days I see her for an hour in the morning before school and then for an hour at night before bed. If I'm lucky sometimes I only see her before school because you have to work late. Walgreen's fair scheduling requires one night during the week and so many weekends a month depending on the store and what employees are able to work. I end up working lot's of night shifts while my fellow single and childless coworkers work mostly day shifts.

Pros

The pay started out to be very competitive in regards to other retail companies. Health benefits seem to be OK. Matching of 401K is rather good.

Cons

Overtime pay was taken away, with no regard to employee financial responsiblities. On average most assistants lost 425.00 dollars a month. That is a great chunk of money to lose. I feel that should have maybe just taken away 2 hours /week to help us to become accustomed to our new income. Morale in just about all stores that I have worked in, needs a huge overall.
