Pros

Great Advancement, Promotions actually seems to be done on merit system. Pay is decent, definitely good for retail industry.

Cons

Managers, especially EXA's, are worked like dogs. 6 day weeks are extremely common (unpaid overtime because were salaried), which really is not fair considering the education requirements and compensation. work life balance is essentially non-existent.

Pros

The best reasons are if you are a pharmacist....they get paid well.. Rx techs have decent schedules and the Pharmacy staff is respected as a whole.

Cons

The company is like two companies in one......a pharmacy and a 7/11. If you work in the pharmacy it is a great career...if you work on the 7/11 side you get hour cuts and every time upper management changes anything your job gets harder, more stressful, and more time consuming than before. Completely opposite of how it should be.

Pros

As an assistant MGT, its a great entry level position. One learns many different aspects within the RX/ drug store industry. Assistant MGT's are given raises twice per year. Walgreens does offer medical, dental and vision. Furthermore, Walgreens does give employees a 10% percent discount on wag stock considered as a profit sharing iniciative.

Cons

As an Assistant MGT, forget about having life during the weekends, nights and holidays. Furthermore, you will be transfered to different Walgreen stores throughout your district during the year which can become tiresome.
