      Pros

      Ive been with Walgreens 3 years. The pay is great and it is like a big family. It is by far one of the best companies to work for. They have excellent advancement opportunities and they look out for the employees best interest at all times. They work with everyones schedule. I dont understand why so many people have so much negative things to say about walgreens. However, every district is different. You cant compare Walgreens as a whole from a opinion based on one store or even one district.

      Cons

      It can be hard labor at times, but the pay is decent and you have to do the hard labor to work your way up. That is the same with any job really. If you dont like to work hard and are afraid to sweat, this isnt the career path for you.

      Secure job, but at what cost?

      Pros

      As an assistant manager, my job was hourly, and over time is capped at 4 fours hours. So you can make decent money, and not be a slave to the company. Since the job is not a 9-5 Monday through Friday, you can schedule Drs Appointments and whatever you need without worrying about using sick pay or vacation time. If you're a woman or minority and a good worker, the company wants to promote you. They have a huge desire to see more women and minorities in higher management.

      Cons

      I never knew what my schedule was going to be three weeks from now- meaning that there is never a set point where I would have a weekend off or a certain day off- it can be random. I also worked all different shift times. It’s hard to make plans with friends because I often worked most night and weekends. I've been sexually harassed and verbally abused by management. District management doesn't care- they'll just shift managers to a different store if the upper management gets too many complaints.

      Not a bad place to work for the most part

      Pros

      Decent pay, the work isn't too hard, as an assistant manager you only have to work 40-44 hrs a week normally. Wage is hourly so anything over 40 hours is 1.5x. Paid holidays and decent benefits are also upsides.

      Cons

      The schedule changes from week to week so its hard to get any sort of continuity as far as a life outside of work. Sometimes you will be asked to work overnight shifts or drive 1-2 hours away to help set up a new store. Also as of late there has been a lot of hours cut, so more work is falling on the managers.
