"The pay at Walgreens is not the best for the work I do. I work long hours for running around for hours straight and do not have a high chance of increasing my salary due to technical issues in the computer system which I have requested to be looked at for the past 7 months. My coworkers make more than I do while doing the same amount of work."

"I would say it is better than working retail ($25,000) which the salary is horrible. Working inside of a closed-door specialty(32,000) is much better, but isn't any different from the management and customer service industry. They both can be crappy depending on what management you wind up having. On the other hand, it can be more comfortable once everyone is on the same page and it is REAL and GENUINE on both sides of the field. You still have to realize that your payment can go up if you do not have a horrible management TEAM."
