Has good benifits and 401k packages, there are opportunities to move up.

Lots of manual labor and counting of money. They are staffed to low. Way to much pressure put in the assistant managers shoulders.

Pros

Working for Walgreens is great when your a student because they are very flexible with scheduling. There is also the occasional 20% off everything except cigarettes and milk products. They do offer holiday pay too.

Cons

The pay is horrible, unless your a Assistant Manger or higher. For example, as a service clerk, I started with $7.45, six years ago, and I ended my career there at $8.50. So it took more then 6 years just to make a $1. Also, Walgreens rarely promotes within the company. The managers treat you as pawns and not people. For example, last year, Our new store manager changed the opening time of the store 8am to 7am without even asking us what we thought about that. All she told is was it was just a test and it would be temporary, but it wasn't. Last but not least, Walgreen is open 365 days a year, enough said.
