Pros

Some Store Managers are great to work for it depends on the person and how they communicate with us employees.

Cons

As an Assistant Manager your have to work were they say you have to work. Which means you will never be close to home. Assistants get transferd all over the place you may drive by 6 different Walgreens before you get to work. Also the hours you work will never be great some nights you may only get about 4 hours sleep before you have to get up and go to work. Also you are not just a Manager you are a Janitor, Grounds keeper, Maid Service, Stock boy .. basicly a slave for your paycheck. Also open all hoildays so just forget about family life.

Pros

Lots of leadership experience received working as part of the management team. Lots of experience with merchandising, multi-tasking, and customer interaction. Plenty of opportunities for a recent college graduate to get leadership experience and advance their career in store management. Lots of different employees come from various backgrounds so you'll have a chance to get to know a more diverse group of people.

Cons

You have to work odd hours, morning shift one day, night shift another day, graveyard shift if you're working at a 24 hour store. Lots of manual labor involved, even for the management team. Pay is not as high compared to larger retail establishments.
