Pros

The Walgreens retirement plan called Profit Sharing offers a guaranteed 2 to 1 match...one of the best plans out there/

Cons

Walgreens has changed over the years and not for the better. As store manager, 70+ hours a week was a norm simply because the majority of each day was spent as a pharmacy technician, not managing the store. "Rewiring" was meant to take work out of stores to equal the reduction of the workforce but that never occurred. Work would be done to meet the satisfaction of our District Manager but would have to be changed if a visit from the Regional Vice President was possible (a lot of times, projects would be changed back to what they originally were...busywork). Store managers are not given the proper manpower to manage a store.

Pros

Pay is not bad, but the hours are horrible due to not requiring everyone to pull their fair share of nights and weekends.

Cons

Company continually screws its employees to increase their bottom line. By decreasing the number of managers and employees in the store Walgreens is ultimately hurting their customers, but all upper management sees is dollar signs.

Pros

The paycheck is competitively high for the level of management I am in, the profit sharing is one of the best I have seen and heard of.

Cons

Long hours, rarely get holidays off, promised one weekend off a month (rarity as well), moral seems low in my district, new management structure putting more work on the plate, expected to drop everything and come in on days off.
