Pros
the 401 k pays an average of 3 to 1 compared to other chain stores equal match. The Pharmacist that they have on staff are very helpful to all the technicians and are willing to teach on the job. The training program at Walgreens is very helpful you can start there with no formal training and they will take care of it. Walgreens also pays for you to take the Tech exam and to renew your license
Cons
due to the economy there have been many cut backs on hours and all hourly employees are no longer allowed to work any overtime There is also a policy called fair scheduling in which you must work at least one night shift or one weekend shift per week
