Pros

The health and profit sharing benefits are great.

Cons

Currently, the restructuring of the employee positions (layoffs) is scary. However, relative to the rest of the industry, and moreover the economy, the number of layoffs has been relatively low.

Pros

It is a good job to start after college. They will hire you as an assistant manager as long as you have a 4yr degree, doesn't matter if its not a business degree. Walgreens are near the top in the country in hiring from college. They offer a good profit sharing plan. It is a pretty easy job, most of the work that you do is stock shelves and count cash drawers. There is good pay once you get to store management level with yearly bonuses.

Cons

Training and development depends on who your store manager is and so does how you get promoted, its all about who you know and less how hard of a worker you are. It is retail so you will be working weekends, nights, and holidays. In my district the only shifts available to work are 11-7 or 2-10:30, so it does leave much time to spend with your family or friends. Recently there have been a lot of changes at Walgreens due to the economy and they took overtime away from assistant managers which ended up being about a 15% pay cut. There is not a lot of communication between corporate/district offices to the store level.
