Pros
Fast moving organization with lots of change. Hire smart people and expect big results.
Cons
Walgreens is a completely dysfunctional organization that works its employees to the bone to benefit a handful of executives. They don't equip their teams for success, tools and staff were always coming up short, and you could always count on layoffs right before year-end. It's an annual event and serves to help the execs hit their bonuses. In summer of 2013 they laid off 1,500 people and two weeks later Greg Wasson boldly reports to Wall Street that "we've had our most profitable quarter in company history!" Everyone sees thru the BS Greg.
