Pros

Interact, network, and form relationships with people in nearby towns and cities. There is a good potential for growth in the company.

Cons

Within the past year, Walgreens Executives have decided to make several drastic changes within the company. For one, almost all store level job titles were changed so that the powers-that-be were free to legally change the pricing structure of each of these roles. So, now employees who thought they would be entitled to a raise every 6-12 months for as long as they remained with the company, were told that there would now be a wage ceiling and place which would place a limit on the amount of money one could earn in his/her current role within the company. I could go on, but I have to get back to the job search...so uh, 'Be Well' I guess! (For those who don't know, I'm referencing the recently installed manditory, and excessively awkward, salutation that someone within Walgreens thought would be fun for everyone to say...)

Pros

I was able to get a job as a new certified pharmacy technician without any experience.

Cons

Underpaid for the amount of work we have to do. Not enough hours. Not enough time for adequate training. Hands on training really depends on the person teaching you. Little room for advancement. Can be stressful when understaffed.

Pros

Windsor, WI distribution center has excellent leadership and although it used to be a broken team, has gotten rid of the old-school management team and is quickly moving in the right direction. If you are up for a challenge and/or willing to be part of a positive transformation, this is a great place to work!

Cons

Corporate supply chain and really corporate in general seems to be in a frenzy to correct problems made in the recent past. They have the right idea that something needs to be fixed, but it doesn't appear that there is any leadership in place who knows or is willing to do what it takes to right the ship. They are headed in the right direction, but unfortunately, it seems like it may take a while.
