Pros

Walgreens treats their employees with respect, and integrity. You can easily move up as a technician, as long as you know how to do your job correctly. They even pay for your training to become certified!

Cons

They do budget cuts quarterly! Which can really affect you. Also, you work in a limited amount of space... with 5, 6, 7+ people at a time.. so if you don't care too much for a coworker.. you have to suck it up because there is no where to go!

Pros

It is a very friendly and welcoming environment for any new hires. It pays decent salary for entry level manager( Around $42k) which is very good compared to other entry level retailers. It is a very organized management structure at the company.

Cons

Not a ideal job for a career minded person. There just three level of management in the store which is Assistant manager, Executive manager and Store Manager. After then it will probably take 15 years or more to get promote.Average salary for a store manager is around 65k and it takes at least 6 years to become a store manager.

Pros

Advancement is attainable if you work hard to stand out - it helps if you demonstrate a positive attitude. Pay is very good at management level.

Cons

Management did not always support staff when staff followed rules. Lots of preferential treatment which was unfair to some employees. Evaluations were done at the last minute without any real thought.
