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.

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.
