      WALGREENS!!!!

      Pros

      Walgreens has good benefits, vacation, paid holidays, 6 sick days per year and even a special day you can take off. My management is great. Will work along side with you to get projects done and lets me take initiative and use my ideas in my department.

      Cons

      If you were to ask me about 6 months ago, I would have probably not been able to find any cons with my job. However, now with all of the "rewiring" they are doing, it has become increasingly hard to stay motivated and "proud" to work there. When you come to work, you have to worry that you may not have your position with the company. They have cut hours, jobs. I wanted to stay with Walgreens and eventually retire but with all these changes, that may be a thing of the past. What happened to the old Walgreens where they cared about the employees. What about the 4 way test that they have always stood by?

      Good job if you are a pharmacist

      Pros

      Stores are well designed for the corner store appeal. Plenty of locations to work at as there is a store on almst every corner

      Cons

      Bathrooms are always filthy since there is no onsite janitorial crew. Technicians are treated like second hand citizens but expected to be as knowledgable as the ultra high paid pharmacists.

      Underpaid and Overworked

      Pros

      We get psuedo-paid holidays, and by that I mean they will tally up your average weekly hours, divide it by 5 days in a workweek, and pay you an extra "average" workday. So if you only work 15 hours a week, but just so happen to work a holiday, you will only make an extra 3 hours worth of pay. We also get an employee discount of 15%, which is helpful, but things are generally cheaper elsewhere. I'm apparently lucky enough to work at a store where most employees are helpful and easy to get along with, although management is a bit on the condescending side.

      Cons

      When i was hired i received a total of 2 days training before closing the Photo Dept alone. From what I've noticed this is normal practice at the store I'm in, especially with the hours that got cut lately. Management will treat us employees like we are just there to do all the work while they do the bare minimum. Pay raises are impossible to get, and when they do come it's a slap in the face. Hard workers get pushed to do obscene amounts of work, while the less motivated employees don't get assigned anything because management knows the job wont get done.
