Pros

Overall it's a well, respected company. Our convenient locations are key to our past success and will likely play a major role in our future success. Because of our locations, we are positioned to be a big player in the transformation of healthcare in the US. While it's still in its infancy and anything can happen, our business model of using our retail locations as a platform for additional healthcare services beyond our tradtional pharmacies could prove to be extremely profitable for us and beneficial for society as well. Our profit-sharing is among the best out there.

Cons

The recent growth has lead to a lot of bureaucracy and departments not communicating as well as they should. It's definitely a time of uncertainty so morale is down.

Pros

A decent job after college if you're not sure what you really want to do. It's rather monotonous work, and not too challenging. If you actually put forth a good effort, there is a good chance you'll move up.

Cons

Pretty inflexible scheduling. Dealing with ridiculous customers, but that's not unique to Walgreen's. They don't really adjust the pay if you are living in an area with a higher cost of living.

Pros

Job security, good profit sharing benefits, most managers are very good about giving you any time off requests, the work is fairly easy

Cons

Pay isn't that great unless you can make it to management, it doesn't seem that they want to promote competent and hard workers into management but have no problem giving the job to new hires even if they have no previous retail experience, although the work is easy you always end up being expected to do much more than they pay you for, you are criticized if you work "too slowly", no matter how hard you work or how well you do it, it seems that some managers like speed more than they like a job well done
