Pharmacy Intern at a slow store is heaven, dead store is hell and fast store is hell on Earth.

Pharmacy intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As a pharmacy intern, you have a straight shot into management over a few years because of the growth. Depending on the store, you can have hell or you can have heaven. People you see and work with generally are not as nasty to you as places like Walmart

Cons

Hours are tough when you're at a busy store. There's not been any kind of raises that make sense for pharmacy interns. The money as an intern is not really that high.

company management no living in reality

Assistant store manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The discount on store items. The company has stores all over the United States, so one could travel virtually anywhere and transfer into another store. They'll hire anyone........

Cons

No respect of store workers. The corporate managers do not understand the needs of store personnel and cut salary & expenses first and quite drastically at times. The new & upcoming initiatives are laughed at by store employees becasue we are all overwhelmed, all the time. Not fairly compensated, no raise, in the stores at least, is based on merit?

Rough around the edges at Walgreens

Assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

As an assistant MGT, its a great entry level position. One learns many different aspects within the RX/ drug store industry. Assistant MGT's are given raises twice per year. Walgreens does offer medical, dental and vision. Furthermore, Walgreens does give employees a 10% percent discount on wag stock considered as a profit sharing iniciative.

Cons

As an Assistant MGT, forget about having life during the weekends, nights and holidays. Furthermore, you will be transfered to different Walgreen stores throughout your district during the year which can become tiresome.
