Vantaggi

None now. The recession & walgreens buying other companies (which means walgreens is paying for the debts those companies had) really destroyed walgreens. its all modern-day slavery.

Svantaggi

I worked for the company for 3 years, I was about to be promoted to assistant manager. Went through the two-interview process with two different community leaders. Went well. All that was left was to wait until a position opened up in a store for an assistant manager. Never happened because corporate put a hiring freeze on the entire district. On top of that, they were doing away with the assistant manager position entirely (which paid $18/hr) & created new ranks so that you would have the same amount of responsibility for $11-12/hr. At this point, there was no opportunity for growth/promotion for me or any employees.

Vantaggi

Can be a fun environment. All in whom your staff is. Operating photo was fun and building projects for the customers. Learning about pharmacy operations.

Svantaggi

Work life balance and low pay for what is expected. Not having enough payroll to effectively run a store. My store ran FE on a 320 hour a week budget. That was barely enough to get buy and meet the expectations put out by the company. I was never able to keep a full leadership staff. When a leader called out, I had to stay. There were days I was called away from my own dinner table. SM's were forced to be in the pharmacy for more than half of their day regardless as to what is happening in the FE. I worked over 50 hours a week and barely got to spend time with my family. If I wasn't at the store I was getting a phone call and having to go back to the store.
