Pros

None now. The recession & walgreens buying other companies (which means walgreens is paying for the debts those companies had) really destroyed walgreens. its all modern-day slavery.

Cons

I worked for the company for 3 years, I was about to be promoted to assistant manager. Went through the two-interview process with two different community leaders. Went well. All that was left was to wait until a position opened up in a store for an assistant manager. Never happened because corporate put a hiring freeze on the entire district. On top of that, they were doing away with the assistant manager position entirely (which paid $18/hr) & created new ranks so that you would have the same amount of responsibility for $11-12/hr. At this point, there was no opportunity for growth/promotion for me or any employees.

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.
