Pros

The opportunities for advancement within Walgreen is good. Because of the tremendous growth there are always new positions opening up for those who are intelligent and have drive. The pay and benefits are also decent and I have few complaints there.

Cons

Upper management runs us in circles with initiatives that seldom pan out. I feel like I am overworked and underappreciated. If the company would work more into giving me positive feedback and constructive feedback. I am tired of the position after five years and am counting down the time till I leave. Mostly I feel underappreciated.

Pros

great place for hourly cashiers, photo lab, stockers, etc. Good benefits. They do understand health care better than most employers. Great training programs in place for all positions. In most locations there is a sense of security. Yearly reviews are given to all positions. Employee discounts are 20% and if you know how to shop the ad's it can be a real help to your families finances. Great direction from field. District and Regional directors are very well trained in dealing with store management. It is a very old fashioned work environment with very ethical practices in place to deal with overall customer satisfaction.

Cons

Only for management. High external theft. No sense of security in "urban" locations. They not only want to rob you of your cash but also your drugs in the pharmacy. Scary. Once you are a store manager, even if you are relocatable, there is absolutely no room for advancement. Your customer service issues can be of monumental proportions. Once in a lifetime photos of a wedding or the birth of a baby, or any number of occasions are ruined by a $7.00 an hour clerk. How do you resolve that? Someone is denied life saving medication by their insurance company but we are the messenger. No way to calm that person down.
