Pros

They have great insurance benefits. Depending on the store you are at it can be a very easy going, or a very stressful place to be.

Cons

The change of title from assistant manager to shift lead which also includes a sizeable pay decrease is extremely hurtful to workers moral and motivation to come and do there job every day.

Pros

Insurance, and from where I live, the salary

Cons

At my store, it's all about clicks and gossip. If I get a write up, everybody has seen it and read it before me. There's no privacy and absolutely no professionalism. My manager doesn't have the balls to talk to me in person, I just get these nasty notes that everyone reads. I've been there 7 months and I have yet to talk to him. Also, they expect me to work like a machine on my shift, and since I'm not in their click, nobody likes me so I'm the scapegoat. Am I back in high school?

Pros

Fast moving organization with lots of change. Hire smart people and expect big results.

Cons

Walgreens is a completely dysfunctional organization that works its employees to the bone to benefit a handful of executives. They don't equip their teams for success, tools and staff were always coming up short, and you could always count on layoffs right before year-end. It's an annual event and serves to help the execs hit their bonuses. In summer of 2013 they laid off 1,500 people and two weeks later Greg Wasson boldly reports to Wall Street that "we've had our most profitable quarter in company history!" Everyone sees thru the BS Greg.
