Do they force you to do overnight shifts/12 hour shifts?

It's pretty simple. If you say no, you will have an unpaid day off. I floated for about a year and I only did 6 overnights. It doesn't happen all the time because there are floaters who just do overnights by choice. In my district, there are some pharmacies that are open 12 hours, so I did a lot of those 12-hour shifts.

no one can force you to do anything. but if you say no too many times to the market scheduler.. well.. the rest of the sentence all depends on the personality of your market scheduler now doesn't it?
I'm actually quitting my position because the scheduling system is just way too haphazard at my district. I'm not allowed to have a life because my schedule does not populate until 5-8 days before I start working, and sometimes not until 1-3 days before!!!
And by the way I was not guaranteed 40 hours upon hiring but I have been working steady 40 hours, but that was because I was very open to which shifts I would work.
Generally tho at my district you are not asked to do overnight, its on a volunteer basis only since there are floaters/staff rph who do nothing but overnights here.

Well I'm happy you are happy with that. I ended up getting another job, 40 hours guaranteed no floating. I wasn't happy living that life.
M-F 10pm-8am but S-S 9pm-8am. You work 72 hrs every 2 wks but get paid 80 hrs.Do you know if overnight shifts with Walgreens are usually 10 hours shifts that go from 10 pm - 8 am?
Glad to hear. Still retail? I'm trying to break into a positon in hospital with 4 10's. Started there per diem, we'll see what happens when the director retires or the other full-time staff RPh leaves.
