Pros

Walgreens does have the best 401K, Profit Sharing.

Cons

I work in Chicago district 9, I've been with Walgreens for 12 year's and the way assistant manager's & employee's are being treated is insane we bust are ass and it is never enough no matter how hard we work to get work done all we here is criticism or get are butt's chewd out because we did not get 1 work task done, it is impossible to please store manager's who sit in the office all day and talk on the phone and on facebook on there cell phone , executive manager's most of them walk around the store & write note's and give there work to everyone else while they pretend to work in the stockroom, & district office just don't know what's going on in the store's. MORE TO COME

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.
