Pros

Pharmacy was the the bread and butter of pharmacy. You have the respect of management and employees outside. Also, they are the leader in terms of innovation. Their pharmacy software was the best I have every seen

Cons

Even though their software was awesome it does not allow you to spend time with customers since they under staff you as a result. I felt like I was working in a sweat shop. Also, new grads were often given the 24 hour stores where the work load was barely manageable. Those who got the nice stores were the ones who are either lucky or threatened to quit. I definitely would not recommend working at Walgreens unless management can guarantee you will get a nice store that fills less than 200 per day.

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
