The customer comes first, but it's at the expense of the patient. - Relief Pharmacist Walgreens Employee Review

Pros

I was able to meet new and interesting people and was mandated to develop better people skills, something in which I was hideously deficient. That, above all, will be a debt to Walgreens that I can never repay. I learned to run a register and operate a drive-through window.

Cons

I learned to run a register and operate a drive-through window. I was laughably bad at both. I got my tie stuck in the cash register and my hand stuck in the drive-through slot. All on my first day. It did give some customers a good laugh, so it was worth it. I despise drive-through windows now. I get all jittery when I see them.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
