Pros

Pharmacy was the the bread and butter of pharmacy. You have the respect of management and employees outside. Also, they are the leader in terms of innovation. Their pharmacy software was the best I have every seen

Cons

Even though their software was awesome it does not allow you to spend time with customers since they under staff you as a result. I felt like I was working in a sweat shop. Also, new grads were often given the 24 hour stores where the work load was barely manageable. Those who got the nice stores were the ones who are either lucky or threatened to quit. I definitely would not recommend working at Walgreens unless management can guarantee you will get a nice store that fills less than 200 per day.

Pros

Long track history of not having to lay off or fire people. They pride themselves on being a place you can grow. And the ability to relocate is nice.

Cons

Very old boy network style. String people along with promotions. Yet someone that comes in from say the pharmacy to take on a management position will be fast tracked through the system even though the supporting cast may be holding there hand through the whole process.
