Pros

Walgreens is best known for it's Pharmacy. If Pharmacy is the career you are looking into then Walgreens is an OK place to get Pharmacy retail experience. The computer system is very helpful, but it is dull and mundane work.

Cons

Crappy hours, pissy customers, poor work/life balance, little respect. Like said before, OK place to work as a Pharmacist, but would not work there as any other job title. Also, expect to be worked like a dog. Walgreens does not care if you or your kids are sick. You are expected to be there when they want you there.

Pros

Work with your schedule if you are in school.

Cons

Low pay. I need to be able to multitask, run the cash register, and operate the Photo Booth lab at a fast pace.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
