Pros

When compared to competitors in retail, Walgreens definitely has an edge when it comes to their employee compensation. They are trending towards promoting based on how much education an employee has compared to their actual work performance. This is definitely an okay place to start straight out of college as you will gain experience thru situations you will not experience elsewhere.

Cons

Upper management is completely out of touch as to what is really going on in the stores. Hour cuts in the pharmacy is making it completely unrealistic to achieve anything close to good customer service. Unrealistic goals are givin to front end managers as well giving the hour cuts there as well. For a store to run effectively, a front end manager must work in the pharmacy basically the entire time leaving no time for anything to be done up front. It seems as if all decisions are made based entirely on KPI's which in no way show what is really going on inside the store.
