Pros

They pay you a dollar or two more an hour for the same job title as other places. The catch is that they require you to do a lot more. You get holiday pay whether or not you work on the holiday. You have an employee's discount. Some customers are sweet and some workers are nice but they come from all across the spectrum.

Cons

-They cut hours and ask for more, more, and more. Imagine if someone asked you to watch an hour long movie in 50 minutes everyday. Now imagine that each time they ask you to do that, they reduce the time that they want you to spend doing it. Impossible. There's simply not enough people to do the job right. You can work hard, get that blood flowing, and the adrenaline going but keeping up with the work, doing the job right, and satisfying management and customers all the time is too hard to do when you don't have enough time. The stress will lead you to an early death and a bigger paycheck for upper management. They stress efficiency but they must have no idea that there is a limit to how effcient you can be before you have to start sacrificing quality. As a result customers get angry, you get upset, management wonders why/knows why and has to side with the customer anyway. Walgreens will fall if it keeps this up.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work at Walgreens is the fact you can relocate to anywhere in the United States without any issues.

Cons

The downside of working at Walgreens is that upper manager doesn't care anything about store level workers. Another downside of Walgreens is the fact that they are open on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
