Pros

No layoffs - Not much expected of you.

Cons

Management and Supervisory staff at the Distribution Center level lack talent and are not qualified for their positions. Distribution Center Management and Human Resources department have a negative and often hostile attitude towards employees. Little or no opportunity to advance at the Distribution Center level. Work policies are not applied in a fair manner across the board to all employees. Too many middle managers that obstruct upward flow of ideas and their implementation.

Pros

The practice caters on optimal patient education and promotion of wellness. Salary excellent. Opportunity for advancement excellent. See the employees as essential to success of the company. Totally computerized medical documentation system. Communication from the highest realm to the lowest realm on the employment chain.

Cons

Twelve hour shifts are great to limit days worked per week but sometimes get a bit long.

Pros

As far as Retail careers are concerned. The pay with Walgreens is about the best I have encountered. There are possibilities for career growth but you must be patient. The benefits are outstanding. Medical, Dental, Profit Sharing.

Cons

Open all the time. You will never experience Holidays like normal people. Schedules are never consistent and if you want to get promoted, well, 60-80 hours a week are normal.
