Pros

It's a large, well-known company with several different aspects, allowing employment for those of various magnitudes, as well as teaches employees of the workings of a large company.

Cons

It is difficult to move around or grow within the company and sometimes it is obvious that favoritism is played in the company.

Pros

As an intern pharmacist, Walgreens offers a higher salary than other retail stores. The computer system is very user friendly and it is a very viable company.

Cons

The focus is more on how many prescriptions you push out, or how fast you can get the patient out of the store.

Pros

I can't say that I wasn't blessed with having this job. When I first started working for Walgreens, I was proud to work for a company that was fair on all aspects. I felt that there was a lot of potential for growth even without a college degree.

Cons

As times changed, they have cut back, a lot. People were fired, others where given different titles of importance that was basically the same job they were doing before, just more shoved on their plate to make up for the ones that were fired. Hours have been cut back on. The building of stores are slowed and to make it worse they have build stores in areas that make no profit. Every time I turn around, a new job title pops up, and many people lose their jobs. Soon I think it will affect the many people who work the stores more than those who make up the titles.
