Pros

Advancement, relatively well paid, company culture

Cons

Very visible glass ceiling in career advancement for non-pharmacists (DM is pretty much it, unless you're a pharmacist), Transfers which happen the day after notification, a fair amount of physical labor, lack of instructional follow-through in new service roll-out, high turnover among service clerks, unstable schedule (though the same goes for all retail jobs). If there is one reason I might leave the company, is the seemingly stubborn company culture of promoting pharmacists more quickly than people with advanced business degrees. Walgreen's is a business as much as it is a pharmacy. Some of the company's recent troubles can be attributed to just that - not enough more business-minded decision makers.

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.
