Pros

Pharmacist salary is good, and (most) of the other pharmacists are good to each other, but the feeling of the "Walgreens" family is dwindling. We used to all help look out for each other. Now with the arrangements on corporate level, it has become every man for himself.

Cons

The merger with Boots Alliance was a total mess. When they rearranged the positions in corporate, their personnel went from dumb to dumber. Underqualified mangers were promoted to corporate positions and many pharmacists started leaving because they felt undervalued.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

The starting pay rate is better than compared to the other competitive. There is a good friendly culture inside the company, but I realize this truly depends on where you work.

Cons

The hourly rate increases each year by very small amount, like 20 cents. No matter how good your pharmacist/manager have rated your annual performance. The critics you also input won’t seem to matter in the long run.
