Vantaggi
Uh, guess you can use them as a stepping stone. . They will train you, send you to school & pay for your licenses & renewals. You can learn a lot about the pharmacy industry & operations all while being paid (even if it's not much) but if you look at the job like it's an apprenticeship, a stepping stone to something better, then it could be worth putting up with all the dysfunction.
Svantaggi
The headline says it all when it comes to being a boots on the ground worker. . You are told you are disposable! You are treated as disposable! You are the scapegoat when it comes to managements accountability. Your treated as a whipping post, more & more work is piled on an already too burdened load. All for lousy pay (barely above minimum wage) even though you have to keep a professional license!! The employer is so out of touch with its boots on the ground workers! Definitely not worth the stress, nor the abuse you take! Walgreens is no longer the company it used to be a couple decades ago. They lost their way, chasing, pursuing the almighty dollar!! They want more customers,but couldn't care less about actually caring for those customers/patients needs or safety . . They just want the $$$
