Pros

I've worked my way up from an overnight cashier to an MGT and even though it took longer than they said, They did make good on their word. I've been lucky enough to have worked with some really great store managers. I work hard and have been awarded accordingly

Cons

Everything we are suppose to do "first thing" in the morning. If we did everything it would take us most of the afternoon. They took away our overtime. Sometimes it's difficult to manage a store when you are being pulled back to pharmacy.

Pros

Flexable hours; close to home; can transfer locations to almost anywhere in the country; job security.

Cons

Less than ideal benifits; lack of communication up and down the chain of command; too many external hiring for lower management rather than internal development and promotion.

Pros

There are many Walgreens stores all over the place, so you are bound to probably find an opening eventually not too far from home. You see the same customers throughout the week, so you could foster some pretty good relationships.

Cons

Management acts as if they are gods, to the point of being cult like. Hours are cut everywhere. If you ask for a favor, they'll probably grant it but will bark at you as if it asking for the world but if you do something for them and in essence the store, e.g. stay back longer, go the extra mile, etc. then 9 times out of 10 you won't get a simple thank you.
