Pros

Enjoyed the experience and opportunity to learn. Good co-workers.

Cons

If you're in I.T. you may possibly be outsourced to India. Walgreens started to go down hill when CEO Jeff Reins stepped down in 2007. Spoke with my own local pharmacist (10 years with Walgreens) about her own opinion about the direction Walgreens is going and she said "it's not like it used to be" in a derogatory tone. I also know another pharmacist who had worked with Walgreens for 20+ years and he quit to go to CVS.

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.
