Cons of working at Walgreens

Company stopped caring about store managers a long time ago. Average manager works 60 hours per week, often going weeks or months without a single day off. Salary is now one of the worst in the industry. Once a store manager reaches his top pay, he or she will NEVER receive a raise. I know store managers that haven't received pay increases for 9 years.

Pros of working at Walgreens

The employees are my family. Working there is easy because its the same routine.

Cons of working at Walgreens

Corporate initiatives are not concerned with employee satisfaction and many of their ideas are for things they never do so when its time to implement it, it's not any easier for the employees actually doing the work.

Pros of working at Walgreens

E workers are great and work as a team, the company is also good to work for. The customers can be rude but the Pharmacist takes care of them. I loved working there

Cons of working at Walgreens

If your not used to being on your feet, it hurts, wear comfy shoes with arch support. Even though it is a part time job, you may only work a few days a week, but each shift will be a full 8 hours.
