Pros

Co workers make it a fun environment

Cons

Do not pay employees very well, you only get a raise once a year and youre lucky if you get 40¢. I worked for several different stores and every store I worked at the store managers sit in the office all day instead of doing things around the store then get upset when asm's and shift leads don't get every single thing done. Almost every manager treats their employees like the don't have a life outside of Walgreens and are unsympathetic to any life tragedies. Just an all around awful employer to work for.

Pros

Decent pay for floor members, half-decent coworkers and paid holidays if you work enough

Cons

Upper management cuts hours every week, but expects you to meet a new metric constantly; pay increases are not guaranteed and are based off of an inconsistent merit scale which varies wildly from one team to another; technicians are vastly underpaid compared to other pharmacies; a lot of talk about improving teamwork, but they're mainly empty promises; problem employees can plague a store for YEARS and gather outrageous amounts of complaintd before they're fired, presumably because Walgreens is worried about getting sued

Pros

Some of the people I worked with are cool.

Cons

Literally, no breaks. We would never take our breaks. This place abuses their pharm techs. It is the second busiest store in MA and we were always understaffed. Please look elsewhere if you can.
