Pros
Benefits are great, they pay on average over $3 to ever $1 you invest in profit sharing retirement. There is excellent advancement opportunities if you work hard and shine in your current position. They probably allow more flexability for there management staff to manage then most companies. Great potential to earn a very good bonus for store managers I have known some store managers earn as high as $60,000 just in bonus which is paid out once a year usually march for previous year. Very affordable health and dental insurance choices for you and your family. They offer you decent amount of payroll hours to run your store on average non 24 hour store has 550 hours and 24 hour stores as high as 1000 hours per week.
Cons
Alot of pressure from corporate, they do expect you to drop what you are doing at a minutes notice to make changes in the store. You may have to work very long hours if you have anyone visiting from corporate and the District staff is always way over stressed during these visits. I actually enjoyed my job more as a assistant manager or executive assistant more then a store manager. Reason is once you are in the store management position its like walking on egg shells every day for fear of losing your job. Walgreens is a very conservative company and you always need to cover your back...
