Pros
I've only worked in the pharmacy for 6 months, however I have been with Walgreen for 2 years so far. But one of the good things are flexible hours. It's a clean job, ok pay for a college job. Nothing more. It also depends who you work with. The pharmacists usually tend to be pretty decent people. But sometimes if you get stuck with an @55hole you just want to shoot him/her and then yourself. Walgreens offers a discount to its employees. This discount isn't that great, because you can go out to Walmart, Target...anywhere and still pay less without the discount.
Cons
Working at Walgreen has been a good experience, however it has it's downsides to it. You will have to deal with unsatisfied people 24/7. A never ending line of people in drive through with insurance problems and such. This job makes you hate people that come into Walgreen period. Technicians work through so many problems with a million people daily and our pay isn't satisfactory. There is a lady that is a senior tech, and she's been there for about 15 years and after a while, you do not get any more raises even though inflation occurs and prices are going up. I think you can get paid up to $16/hr. Working here is like a sweatshop.
