Pros

The best thing about Walgreens are some of the employees. We work well together and have fun. I also get told how well I'm doing, even though the work is fairly simple.

Cons

Some of the worst things about Walgreens are some of the employees. Some people are very lazy and don't finish their work just because they know the next shift will. No one gets promoted anymore also.

Pros

The pro of working at Walgreens, you are standing behing a big name. you get a discount on almost everything in the store. 15% on non-walgreens product, and 20% on walgreens product. Average like most companies 2 week vacations after the first year, profit sharing is okay, and discounts on the stocks.

Cons

It really depends on the district/markets you are in as well as what store managers you have. Store management for Indianapolis is very poor. The communication is terrible, the training is terrible, very few store managers hold any type of degree, but degrees are now required for advancement. Back stabbing is just terrible, you are told from management how to disipline your employees, and when confronted from employees, the upper management plays it off. The support is just down right disgusting. You can be a very hard worker and very supportive in trying to help upper management, but you are not supported if you dont know everything, in most cases the store managers dont even know everything. Consist changes throughout the stores, as far always moving the same products form location to location, this gets out of hand. You are pretty much just a glorified stock person with a tie. Walgreens is a good company, it just depends on the loaction/market/district you are in. Thier are far way too many Store managers that hold this title, that shouldnt.
