Pros

The best reasons I feel to work for Walgreen's is that their are plenty of opportunities to move up in the company, job security, and Walgreen’s is a nation wide company so you have lots of freedom as far as where you want to work. If you are in a growing market and you have a college degree you can move up to an store manager in at least 3 to 4 years. Job security is a plus because the only way you can loss your job at Walgreen's is by doing something illegal. Finally, Walgreen's has so many location nationwide it's easy if you want to transfer.

Cons

One of the downsides to working at Walgreen’s is their is no work life balance. If you work for Walgreen's you might as well forget about your personal life. All you have time to do is work. Another downside of working for Walgreen’s is that they move you around a lot, you handle every get a chance to get used to your surroundings. Just when you got used to working with a certain staff and management team they take you out of that store and move you into another store. The last downside that Walgreen has is that their is no respect. Upper management treats you like dirt.

Pros

As a pharmacy intern, you have a straight shot into management over a few years because of the growth. Depending on the store, you can have hell or you can have heaven. People you see and work with generally are not as nasty to you as places like Walmart

Cons

Hours are tough when you're at a busy store. There's not been any kind of raises that make sense for pharmacy interns. The money as an intern is not really that high.

Pros

The discount on store items. The company has stores all over the United States, so one could travel virtually anywhere and transfer into another store. They'll hire anyone........

Cons

No respect of store workers. The corporate managers do not understand the needs of store personnel and cut salary & expenses first and quite drastically at times. The new & upcoming initiatives are laughed at by store employees becasue we are all overwhelmed, all the time. Not fairly compensated, no raise, in the stores at least, is based on merit?
