How's the work life balance at Walgreens?
Terrible. Your hours and days change constantly. It’s like you have to spend all your free time figuring out and making plans for what you want to do so you can turn in requests and then youre not guaranteed to get the days off. This is my most hated part of working at Walgreens

No weekends free, no rotation fo pharmacists to get 2 days off consequently at least once a month

Non existent. If you are salary, you are expected to answer calls, texts, emails on time off.. including vacations.
