Pros

1. Work-life balance definitely a plus. 2. Easy to be seen as a rock-star with very little effort or if you just don't care. Think Peter Gibbons in Office Space.

Cons

1. Benefits are horrible. 2. Matching 401k is low, and doesn't kick in until you've put in a year of service. 3. Culture is definitely geared towards brick-and-mortar stores and not the online space. 4. Walgreens IT is running the show, but they don't have a clue. 5. Unilateral decisions are made across the board without input from people who actually understand issues or have insight to potential issues that could happen. 6. Too many self-declared 'experts' who think they have all the answers, but in reality... 7. Move to PTO time off has short-changed employees. 8. Paraphrasing a quote from a development director: "Building software to 'change the world' is a very Northwest attitude. In the Midwest [Walgreens headquarters] it's about keeping the status quo."
