Pros

Cares about customers and employees

Cons

Do not make employees wait a year to move into management. The company lost many high quality, highly educated people by making them wait to be advanced.

Pros

It's a great place to be promoted on the inside, if you stay long enough you will get great opportunities, and great benefits.

Cons

Loss Prevention is sneaky, and thinks irrationally. When they came to talk to me about some things they told me. "You know what you did wrong, if you tell me "I don't know" then your lying" My manager limited me to 1 class this semester, then fired me. So i was stuck with only one class. I feel like my manager looked for a reason to get rid of me. After I got fired, I found out that i was being underpayed compared to the others that started in my position. I was also promised numerous things when i was first hired, I put down pharmacy as my first choice and photo as my second. They didn't have a pharmacy position open so they put me in photo. Mr. Groene told me I would be the next to go to pharmacy when a position was open, when a position opened I wasn't even talked to. I was also promised that I would get the yearly review that decides whether or not you get a raise in august, since i would of been hired 2 months before the raise. I didn't even get the review.

Pros

Walgreens will take you as far as you want to go! I started as a cashier and now I am an Asmt. I have had the chance to work with some amazing people that have contributed to my growth with Walgreens. It's never a dull moment on the Corner of Happy and Healthy.

Cons

Depending on what kind of store your in, your job can be highly stressful. Slower stores receive less payroll so that means more work for you on top of all the responsibilities you have.
