Pros

Good for entry level management position straight out of college. Just do not stay too long. Pay is lower than industry standard and recent "enhancements" of medical insurances significantly lowered the value of those benefits. Will usually work with your schedule needs, but that depends heavily on particular store manager.

Cons

Growth has slowed and there is a lot of legacy people in the pipeline to take up all upcoming opportunities, so don't waste your time if you want to move up quickly, unless you're a pharmacist, than you're set.

Pros

The best reason to work at Walgreens is that there are so many pharmacies you can work at, so you don't spend time and money to get to your job. Second, you can impact the lives of so many people that visit these pharmacies educating them about the use of their meds and health products.

Cons

There is no work and life balance because you will probably end working night shifts and holidays if you are not a manager. They do not have rotative shifts as they tell you when they hire you. Also, ther is no double pay for working extra hours, just pay and a half.
