Pros

Jobs are always available at Walgreens some of the staff is tremendous - wonderful people to work with

Cons

Absolutely NO work life balance as an asst manager, you work mostly nights and you are nothing but a glorified stock boy. Walgreens forces people to transfer to other stores without even consulting the employee about the feasibility of the move. You either transfer or leave. There is no regard for the safety of their employees you are expected to report to work even when the governor declares a statewide state of emergency. If you have chdren, forget working here as you are not allowed to have a life outside the store. Assistants took a huge paycut. Most found out accidentally through email. There aS no advance notice.

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.
