Pros

OK rates of pay. Staff have decent discount

Cons

Like commonly American big corporate. Employees are worked till they could hardly walk or cope. The numbers of staff and one time are bare minimum compared to work load. Need to serve customers whilst doing other millions things, and being questioned why list of tasks are not completed. How do you finish a task while running back and forth to till like mad? The targets are unbearable some shops even insane. Clearly those high level decision makers never really work on the ground level. What they are asking are out of reality. 2 winters we were forced to work for months with broken heating, with Boots uniform which is not suitable for under 10 degree. Yes, It does get under 10 when outside is minus and we have no heating. If you are sick or have accident at work, expect no pay, and be forced to get to work dying, since we you can't afford loosing pay. No compassion at all.

Pros

I was fortunate that when I chose to relocate, Walgreens transferred me to a different state.

Cons

Disrespectful upper management. Inadequate training provided yet full responsibility expected. Selective on who progresses
