Pluspunten
Walgreens matches the first 2% of 401k contributions 3 to 1. This year my first 2% will total roughly $2,100 so the company will contribute $6,300. As a pharmacist I am working for a company that basically does not exist without my position. Pharmacy accounts for 60 to 70% of sales and trust me everyone knows it. This makes me a valuable asset.
Minpunten
Despite the largest percent of sales being from the pharmacy we are often short staffed. It seems we are constantly cutting hours to decrease cost. In this rough economy the entire store is losing hours on a regular basis to keep stock holders happy. At the same time corporate continues to preach customer service as being paramount to everything else. Cut hours and give better customer service, huh.
