Pros

Good benefits, ok vacation time, great profit sharing benefits.

Cons

I've been an employee for over 10 years. I used to love working for Walgreens! Great benefits, great pay, tons of help, and lots of hours to go around. However, as the company grew bigger and in 2008-2009 everything changed and They have become a perfect example of profit over people. Benefits are getting cut yearly. Medical plans are very very expensive. Vacation program got switched over to a PTO based system so your vacation amount varies from year to year. So I went from having 18 paid days off, great benefits, a yearly bonus, a yearly Christmas gift to what is now the Wal-mart of the drugstore chains. Hours are constantly getting cut, makes their employees feel like used car salesmen, and promote this facade of well being as their employees burn out and get replaced by a revolving door of new hires. Seniority isn't taken into consideration anymore.
