      This is a solid company that is growing!

      Pros

      It has a very large national clinical community. Management works very hard to ensure peer support. The shared computer database that is used is very exstensive with many new features. This company has recently merged CHD Meridian, Whole Health and Walgreens (Take Care). Take Care is a nurse driven company that remembers that ultimately the patient is our reason for working so hard. The company employs a lot of first rate clinicians and respects experience that comes with age.

      Cons

      The policies and paperwork seem excessive. To ensure state compliance there are many protocols and paperwork to follow. It is a lot to keep up with.

      My epxerience with Walgreens

      Photo specialist

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      At least with the store I work at, the managers are very friendly, and will listen to their employees. The atmosphere is fairly laid back, but not totally lax. I have never had any problems with my coworkers. Of course it all depends on who is running the store. I have heard some of the other stores in the area aren't run as well as the one I work at, and that is unfortunate. The also have pretty good medical coverage, although don't expect them to cover your vision. I had to pay for that out of pocket. Overall it isn't a bad place to work but don't expect to make a career out of Walgreens unless you go into management, but from what I have seen and heard, it can be very stressing.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible. I work in the photo dept and I started at around 8.50 an hour. We get a dollar raise every year, and that would be good if the starting wages wasn't so low. Also, working in photo can be a little frustrating at times, especially when the photo machines start getting fussy. The Nexlab machine we have now has to have it'ss printers changed every few months because the ribbon used in the printers starts sticking to the paper more and more as time goes on. Every now and then, one of the machines will glitch, either the kiosk or the nexlab, causing a lost order and an inconvenienced customer complaining.

      Could be great place to work

      Store manager

      Pros

      Very stable company, Good pay,good benefits and overall do your job and you are left alone. Depending on your boss, if you give 100% effort you will be taken care of. Of all my walgreen bosses I only had one who was truly clueless of what happened in the stores.

      Cons

      Company seems to be stumbling at the top. Once you work in the inner city they keep you there. You feel trapped. Not enough feedback from district manager. With the growth the last few years they have people in positions that have no business being there. That starts from the top all the way down to store managers. If you do not have a college degree you will be left behind. No matter how good you are at your job. They would rather have a mediocre college grad than a spectacular non college grad?????
