Vantaggi

Good pay and decent benefits

Svantaggi

I'm not sure about all Walgreens, but it's very difficult for someone to get fired. Sometimes that's a good thing and sometimes it's bad. Management is a pain. It takes many times asking to get a request approved (job position, hours, time change, etc). In my experience, it has been like pulling teeth getting the right position and hours that I need. Walgreens also doesn't pay 1.5x for holidays which makes me very upset. You have to work at least 1 or 2 holidays per year (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Years Eve, and New Years). You get holiday pay, which is a percentage of a percentage of the hours you work all year. I made like an extra $40 over the holidays, it's ridiculous. If you're going to pull me away from my family who I love and would rather be with on holidays, then at least pay your employees Walgreens. Don't be so cheap!

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.
