Pros

One of the best reasons to work for Walgreens Health Services (WHS) is the profit sharing program. The Company will match a guaranteed $2 for every $1 an employer contributes to their 401(k) plan, up to the first 2%. This is the starting point and matches could far exceed these levels based on the Company's performance. Another good reason to work for WHS is that the Company is building new stores every day and this provides an abundance of job opportunities.

Cons

Some of the downsides of working at Walgreens is that the Company provides more advancement opportunities for pharmacists than it does for non-pharmacists. Also, the Company does not provide tuition reimbursement for graduate school, only for those wishing to obtain a PharmD. Another downside of working for the Company is the lack of leadership by Senior Management.

Pros

Walgreens has amazing technology and it makes your job easy. Walgreens pays their pharmacists very well, and all pharmacists get paid the same regardless of experience, based only on position. Benefits accrue based solely on hours worked and years with the company. They are under a lot of scrutiny as a large company, so they try to make everything as fair as possible. Scheduling is very flexible, and the work is flexible in that you can transfer stores if you want to move.

Cons

The atmosphere is fluorescent lighting and tacky floor displays. It's not the kind of place where you would choose to spend time unless you were getting paid.
