      Pros

      - The atmosphere that they've cultivated in the downtown office is amazing. Everyone is a pleasure to work with, which makes it easy to come into work every day. - Most corporate employees can work from home 1-2 days per week - Digital commerce roles get a lot of visibility throughout the company

      Cons

      - In-store and Online businesses are just starting to work more closely with one another. So there are some growing pains. - If you work on the store side of the business, the headquarters is in Deerfield (which is a long drive from Chicago if that's where you want to live)

      Pros

      The employee discount is the only benefit to speak of. Pay is poor, profit sharing is only 4%, time off accruals are slow... you get the picture. Enjoy your discount and the occasional clearance finds.

      Cons

      No chance to advance your career here External candidates taken over internal Met with confrontation when moving stores/districts Work ethic means and commitment mean nothing When interviewing for promotion, remember they don’t care how hard you work

      Pros

      Flexible schedules. Good insurance. I honestly don’t have many pros. You get a paycheck, a 401k, profit sharing, and insurance. Unfortunately you get no gratitude for your hard work.

      Cons

      Low pay Hours can get cut anytime regardless of whether you’re full time or part time. Full time for Walgreens is 30 hours, not 40. Manager and corporate doesn’t have your back. They do whatever the patient wants just to keep the business. The managers makeup their own rules and the policies and procedures are very inconsistently followed. Techs and pharmacists do not receive proper training because the company doesn’t believe in formal training even though you’re dealing with peoples’ medications and a mistake can kill the patient. Pharmacy managers do whatever they can to not take responsibility for what’s really going wrong in their pharmacy. They turn a blind eye and pretend prescriptions aren’t consistently getting filled incorrectly. I can go on for days. I worked their for 11 years. The company has changed a lot through the years for the worst.
