      You're fine if you keep your head down - Certified Pharmacy Technician Walgreens Employee Review

      Pros

      Paid time off, both personal and vacation are pooled into what is known as PTO and can be used or banked. Training, Walgreens will train you for any position in the company, Want to be a Pharmacy Tech? Walgreens has classes and certification allowances in place.

      Cons

      Corporate uses metrics as the end all be all and if you or your department aren't meeting expectations, for instance if you're short staffed, you won't get any new hires or help until you meet the expectations. Basically you have to prove you don't need help reaching the ever changing goals before you can get help. The squeaky wheel gets oiled, until it won't stop squeaking then it gets replaced.

      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.
