Pros
The best part of working for Walgreens is the customers. It's retail so you do get the few customers that are angry about everything however, most of the customers are friendly and nice. The benefits are excellent compared to other retailers. The profit sharing plan can't be beat. With the right staff and store manager work can be fun along with getting the job done.
Cons
Recent staffing cut-backs make it hard to accomplish the standards set by Walgreens. Pay cuts for management are unfair considering the same amount of work is expected with less hours per week. The management staff keeps the stores together and by reducing thier wages it sets a solemn tone. There is a saying, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you."
