Pros

Work life balance, benefits, very flexible work.

Cons

In retrospect, I heard that Walgreens is not the employer you should go for and for some reason I still accepted the position. It was HUGE mistake,, I never in 15+ years of corp finance exp had worked in more disorganized, chaotic work environment. Simple processes like forecasting, budgeting and strategic planning are made so complex that are almost impossible to bring it to finish line. Then there are people at Walgreens who simply are so light on accounting and finance knowledge that is simply frightening. They promote SFAs to Manager in 2 years or less, knowing that those individuals are basically clueless and then you have to work with individual like that, extremely difficult.
