Pluspunten

Good pay! I found that it was a great starting job just out of college. Excellent profit share ($2 to every $1 match for the first two percent taken out).

Minpunten

The Walgreens market is getting smaller which means the chance to move up in the company is becoming impossible. As a manager, you will never be off for a holiday, including Christmas Day, and if you are located in a 24 hour store this stands true more so. 24 hour stores and pharmacies are open 24 / 7 / 365. When I first started, my yearly salary quote was based on 4 hours of over time each week, however, when Walgreens started downsizing, they cut Assistant's overtime since we are paid on an hourly rate. This lead to around a $4000 cut in pay each year. Also, Management Trainee means learn evrything yourself and hope for the best (every store I have worked at so far).

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.
