Pros

Its all about Customer Service. Pharmacy is what keeps Walgreens driven.

Cons

The work can be really repetitive at times because the industry is retail. Employees are on their feet most of the time. Dealing with customers all around the clock. There are some Labor work like carrying heavy boxes or totes. People go their because they need their medicine, so there might be a lot of people coughing in your face.

Pros

It a great place to work if you blue collar type worker looking for a corporate feel. In this tough economy they are willing to give low educated hard workers a chance to make it big in a retail managerial platform.

Cons

Working hard will only get you so far. All highly educated individuals know working smart is how to make it in a capitalist society. This company is filled with the good ol boy mentality that won't let innovated management styles and communication penetrate to bring new life. You will have work many hard and long weekends and holiday seasons just to make it to "store manager". For some weird reason they are proud of that. No one should have to suffer and slave to prove themselves. ...and it doesn't matter if you have a degree. Since most of the store managers don't have one they surely aren't going to respect yours.
