Pros
I started with Walgreens three years ago as a cashier. Three months later, I was promoted to photo specialist and got a dollar raise. Once I learned photo, sometimes they would rotate me working in the front or in cosmetics. I liked the change of pace. Then 6 months later, I became a pharmacy technician and got a three dollar raise. Pharmacy was a bit more difficult, but once you master the computer system (after about three months) it's really not that hard of a job. A year later, I became a Sr. Pharmacy Technician and got another raise of two dollars. Walgreens gives you lots of opportunity if you're a hard worker.
Cons
Sometimes it seems that Walgreens managers and CEOs care more about their customers than their employees. In the pharmacy, I've experienced some of the meanest customers ever. They are allowed to cuss at us and everything, and we are not allowed to ban them or kick them out. But I guess that's why Walgreens is so competitive.
