Vantaggi
My boss is very generous as to who he's willing to rehire back as he's rehired me for about the 4th time. It's a great place to work if you can pick up and know what you're doing right away. The employees are great and the management is alright. The hours I do not mind at all. My store along with other stores are 24 hours so you can work whatever shift you desire. Customers are usually great, but you will get some very annoying regulars who come to the store. After 9pm, around this area, it tends to get wild with random druggies and drunks come into the store. It's whatever. We have to satisfy all the customer's needs. I do enjoy the fact that some people return their gratitude for giving them good customer service. I just wish some people would just praise and comment me and whoever deserves the recognition to the higher management or district managers so I can get one of those little pins!. oh and Profit sharing. don't skip out on that.
Svantaggi
Promotion from within the company is quite picky. If you are not a "people person", then you will have the hardest time trying to become an assistant manager if you do not have any sort of degree. This new kid just got hired a month ago and already has more potential than I do because of his people skills while I've worked at Walgreens for over 2 years. In my store, there isn't much work recognition from certain managers. The managers who 'care' for the employees will actually tell them if they've done a good job or not while the other assistant managers who are think they're higher up tend to ignore good employee's works. It's not as 'professional' as you may think.
