Pluspunten

Advancement, relatively well paid, company culture

Minpunten

Very visible glass ceiling in career advancement for non-pharmacists (DM is pretty much it, unless you're a pharmacist), Transfers which happen the day after notification, a fair amount of physical labor, lack of instructional follow-through in new service roll-out, high turnover among service clerks, unstable schedule (though the same goes for all retail jobs). If there is one reason I might leave the company, is the seemingly stubborn company culture of promoting pharmacists more quickly than people with advanced business degrees. Walgreen's is a business as much as it is a pharmacy. Some of the company's recent troubles can be attributed to just that - not enough more business-minded decision makers.

Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.
