Pros

It's a job. This is a good starter job if you need experience. The Walgreen's name on your resume will look good.

Cons

Salaries and benefits are very low and are not competitive. Annual raises are less than 1%. Learning opportunities are minimal. Walgreen's is very tight with their money so it's nearly impossible to receive any training (except for terrible "learning" opportunities at Walgreen's University) The potential to be promoted is extremely limited as the finance division is extremely analyst heavy. Management treats their employees like a commodity. There is zero attempt to keep employees happy. If you want to be in a pleasant work environment Walgreen's is not the company for you. Walgreen's is extremely tight on spending. People frequently get trapped in the toilets because the locks keep breaking. We now even have single-ply ~3.5 inch wide toilet paper. Best case scenario there is one annual appreciation outing for finance employees. They take you to a bowling alley and provide free soda..... (last year (2014) we didn't get anything).

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.

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.
