      Store Manager - Dissatisfied with company direction

      Store manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Walgreens paid reasonably well for store management. Benefits were decent. As a store manager, you had the ability to run your own business to a certain degree. Bonuses were good, but they have lowered those tremendously.

      Cons

      You had to live at the store during the holidays. Poor communication from senior management. Micromanaging from district managers. Too much politics in the workplace. Lowering the bonus structure has the effect of lowering our salaries overall.

      A traditional retail company which focuses on the employee.

      Pros

      The style of company promotion which focuses on promoting from within. Although the company is slowly catching up technology wise you can still tell where some of the traditional aspects of the company have remain unchanged. Depending on the store manager raises can be in the ballpark of 65-85 cents a year, very generous within the retail sector.

      Cons

      The pay can be low but that is to be expected in retail work. The initial training system which acquaints the work to the Walgreens system could use some work.

      Pretty satisfied overall--retail is retail and these issues seem prevalent in many retail settings

      Pros

      They do provide an excellent benefit package and fair compensation

      Cons

      They keep cutting tech hours siting the economy as a reason but then complain when they get complaints about customer service. They have more phone lines that can ring than people who can answer them--another reason for complaints. This makes a busy store extremely stressful for those who work there and for their customers.
