      Outsourced Corporate I.T. to India

      I t employee

      Pros

      Enjoyed the experience and opportunity to learn. Good co-workers.

      Cons

      If you're in I.T. you may possibly be outsourced to India. Walgreens started to go down hill when CEO Jeff Reins stepped down in 2007. Spoke with my own local pharmacist (10 years with Walgreens) about her own opinion about the direction Walgreens is going and she said "it's not like it used to be" in a derogatory tone. I also know another pharmacist who had worked with Walgreens for 20+ years and he quit to go to CVS.

      Too much Stress for too little pay

      Pharmacy technician
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The schedule is flexible. I have some really good co-workers. You meet some really nice people (customers).

      Cons

      Walgreens does not give enough hours for us to have enough help for the work that needs to be accomplished. Also getting 40 hour in 1 week is a joke. You can be scheduled to work 6 days in 1 week and still not get 40 hours, ridiculous! The job is not high on the degree of difficulty but the hardest part is dealing with the public.

      Great Experience, Horrible Company

      It security analyst
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Large company, everyone knows Walgreen's - Great experience in a large corporate environment - Work/Life Balance

      Cons

      - Horrible management - Below average pay - No transparency - No investment in employees - Constantly replacing IT roles with outsourced company - Management doesn't listen to employee's opinions - Culture is horrendous. No respect among departments. - Walgreen's Corporate is still stuck in an old mindset. They need to 'get with the times' - Career growth is very limited within departments. Most vertical movement is done switching departments entirely.
