Walgreens is bound and determined to treat their online entities the same as their retail stores.
1) The review process has questions and ratings directly tied to retail store jobs/KPI's - and are so structured there's not a lot of room to detail accomplishments unique to online.
2) Goals for some groups are absolutely incompatible with management's stated desires, and in fact the word 'management' is used very loosely. Most of them who want to stay on are working hard to ingratiate themselves with Walgreens execs, and either avoid giving straight answers to questions, provide little to no guidance or outright lie to employees.
3) On the other hand, and detrimentally, Chicago management has gotten very involved in day to day life and they absolutely do not get online retailing. drugstore.com is hemorrhaging resources as more and more find better salary and move to companies that understand the online space.
4) Additionally, health benefits have tanked in comparison to the market, and there is no longer a good work life balance (one VP said they 'didn't believe in working from home' like its a mythical creature.
5) So between only average pay, reduced benefits, shoddy management, little work-life balance and a not terribly bright future (which looks like merging walgreens.com and drugstore.com) there isn't much to reccommend in a city that also has Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Expedia, et al
