      Pros

      Walgreens is a stable, mature company with opportunity to transfer anywhere in the country. If you have plans to work as a pharmacist with them, they compensate part of your pharmacy school tutition.

      Cons

      The workload is very high, there is hardly enough time to get everything accomplished, customers refusing to cooperate slow down the workflow , insurance issues are complex and hard to understand until significant time is spent on the job

      Retail=Horrible.

      Pros

      Walgreens is best known for it's Pharmacy. If Pharmacy is the career you are looking into then Walgreens is an OK place to get Pharmacy retail experience. The computer system is very helpful, but it is dull and mundane work.

      Cons

      Crappy hours, pissy customers, poor work/life balance, little respect. Like said before, OK place to work as a Pharmacist, but would not work there as any other job title. Also, expect to be worked like a dog. Walgreens does not care if you or your kids are sick. You are expected to be there when they want you there.

      Great plan. Now make it happen

      Pros

      Strong leadership. Highly ethical. Hard working and dedicated employees who really are proud of being part of Walgreens. Leadership has taken head out of the sand and making difficult decisions and changes needed to continue to be successful and improve. Making changes BEFORE the wolf is at the door. More opportunity than ever coming with the reorganization.

      Cons

      Job descriptions old or non-existent. No clear career paths. Not enough post-hire training at corporate. Salaries average just below other companies. Not enough performance feedback to learn what you need to do better. Managers don't communicate enough to their employees.
