This job is not for everyone. You must be able to relate to the public and their demands. Thats all. - Pharmacist Walgreens Employee Review

Pros

The income is nice and some of the customers can be very friendly. These are about the only two positive things that I caould think of.

Cons

There are to many to name them all here, but here are a couple. Rude customers, poor employee morale, poor employee training, unreal expectations from corporate, constantly being pushed to go faster and faster, high turnover, standing all day, no lunch break, etc....

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.
