Pros

Team members makes working here easier to get through the shift. They typically have your back when you need them.

Cons

There’s not enough employees and they expect you to get a lot done which is impossible when your short staffed and running around trying to cover photo, pharmacy, and customers up front. The company doesn’t seem concern about their employees safety or happiness , and many times employees are put in dangerous situations. There are never any store supplies when you need them and the store is a mess. Resets barely get completed due to employee shortage. As a shift lead, don’t expect to see your friends or family because Walgreens becomes your life. There is absolutely no work life balance working here. And expect to work turn around shifts where you leave at 11:30 at night sometimes later, and are expected to open at 7 the next day. The company overall is going down, and I don’t see myself being with the company any longer. I think about walking out everyday and if it wasn’t for bills I would have been quit.
