Pros

If you are looking for an in-between job, it's a pretty good one. You can cut your management teeth here with ease.

Cons

Lack of employees. No real opportunity to hone leadership skills as you are the one doing all the work. Training is nearly non-exsistant. Promotions are NOT based on eperience, but rather who is "IN" with the DM. Management staff is not given regular feedback on performance.

Pros

The best reasons are the pay and benefits. Also, being a national company with many locations, I can move and still stay with the company. Walgreens is also technologically advanced with a great computer system that links all its stores so it is easier to know the history of and to serve a customer that does not always visit the same store.

Cons

It can get very busy and some of the customers are not worth dealing with. There are always plenty of problems ranging from insurance issues to customer complaints which leaves little time to provide for proper patient care (i.e. patient counseling).
