Wasn't great to begin with, but after company purchase it's awful. - Software Engineer Walgreens Employee Review

Pros

I guess it's better than working in an Amazon warehouse

Cons

Absolutely no growth opportunities. In 3 years I've only had a raise once, and it was just 1%. My manager has given me no path to a promotion or raise, despite being able to demonstrate improved performance year over year. If you think I'm a fool for sticking around you would be right. If you are told you can work remote they will pull out the rug from under you and require you to be in Deerfield so long as you are 50 miles from the office. I never would have taken this job if that was communicated to me beforehand.

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.
