Pros

In some places the name "Walgreens" has some value, but nothing too significant.

Cons

I work at Walgreens (Soquel). My colleagues are trying to eat each other (and me on the way). I never saw that level of resentment at a workplace. The salary is lower than average in the industry. It seems like they have no real hiring process. I've tried to contact Rosalind (the CEO), but she's making too much money. She couldn't care less about anything other than Rosalind.

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.
