Pros

Quick advancement. Pays well for what you do. Not a bad company to work for.

Cons

It's retail. All retail sucks because of customers. Somewhere, at sometime, someone told a customer "the customer is always right" and customers have taken this concept and run wild with it. Instead of it meaning that a retailer should provide a product or a service when a customer wants and how a customer wants it they have taken it to mean that they can be disrespectful and piss all over you and that you should be grateful for it because they are spending $3.00 on a prescription which you, the tax payer, who is working their ass off, is paying for because they have Medicaid. Walgreens will hire you as a "manager" but you will spend most of you time stocking dog food on shelves. When you are not doing that you will be patching up problems that your subordinated have created.
