      It sounds good in the beginning, but once you work there you realize its fools gold.

      Pros

      Good pay, Good Benefits, initially. flexible schedule on the ESG side of the company.

      Cons

      They changed their health insurance provider in 2011 and it went downhill. I used to recieve $2500 in CME and 5 days off for CME. That was cut to only $1000/yr. There is no contract, so you can get axed anytime- WHICH IS WHAT HAPPENED T ME! I went on maternity leave and received a call during my leave that my full time job was gone and I was being offered a per diem NP position- no benefits and no per diem level of pay. You can guess what I told them.... Working without a contract opens you up to alot of bad stuff. Your offer letter doesnt hold up at all under the law- The job started off great and sounded good on paper, but once you get into it, you realize how disorganized the ESG (occ health) side is. My "boss" was an RN. the other NP's had a "boss" that was an RN. My educational preparation and medical rank supercede hers- so why is she my boss? She has no insight into evaluating an NP or understanding how to support an NP. Take Care calls the DSO's- most are nurses- most with 2 year degrees managing Masters prepared nurses. Is that a company that you want to work for???

      Pros

      They pay you a dollar or two more an hour for the same job title as other places. The catch is that they require you to do a lot more. You get holiday pay whether or not you work on the holiday. You have an employee's discount. Some customers are sweet and some workers are nice but they come from all across the spectrum.

      Cons

      -They cut hours and ask for more, more, and more. Imagine if someone asked you to watch an hour long movie in 50 minutes everyday. Now imagine that each time they ask you to do that, they reduce the time that they want you to spend doing it. Impossible. There's simply not enough people to do the job right. You can work hard, get that blood flowing, and the adrenaline going but keeping up with the work, doing the job right, and satisfying management and customers all the time is too hard to do when you don't have enough time. The stress will lead you to an early death and a bigger paycheck for upper management. They stress efficiency but they must have no idea that there is a limit to how effcient you can be before you have to start sacrificing quality. As a result customers get angry, you get upset, management wonders why/knows why and has to side with the customer anyway. Walgreens will fall if it keeps this up.

      Pros

      It is a very friendly and welcoming environment for any new hires. It pays decent salary for entry level manager( Around $42k) which is very good compared to other entry level retailers. It is a very organized management structure at the company.

      Cons

      Not a ideal job for a career minded person. There just three level of management in the store which is Assistant manager, Executive manager and Store Manager. After then it will probably take 15 years or more to get promote.Average salary for a store manager is around 65k and it takes at least 6 years to become a store manager.
