Pros

pay is pretty good, sometimes you get a good store manager

Cons

nothing is guaranteed, no job security, hours are anytime they feel like, no life for most employees, the changes to SIMC duties don't even pass the Walgreens own 4-way test. .

Pros

Up until recently, there haven't been any clear Job Descriptions or Roles and Responsibilities. This really gave people with initiative an opportunity to create the career/job they wanted. As long as you act like you know what you're doing, most people won't know the difference and leave you alone. As long as it appears you are contributing to the bottom-line somehow, you could make a whole career of this.

Cons

Senior managers are all over-worked. They have too many responsibilities and they become roadblocks for a significant amount of work at lower levels. Every manager is only concerned with "managing up" and employees are left to fend for themselves (this can be a pro if you're a individual with tons of initiative and a little bit of arrogance). Many managers got promoted because they were "next in line" or they were the "favorite". Most have no idea how to manage people and are only concerned with what their boss thinks is important.

Pros

Great Start up pay and benefits

Cons

If you aren't hired right out of college you will never be promoted. older assistant managers do all the work while the college recruited managers gossip among each other and the cashiers waiting for their inevitable promotion.
