Pros

The opportunities for advancement within Walgreen is good. Because of the tremendous growth there are always new positions opening up for those who are intelligent and have drive. The pay and benefits are also decent and I have few complaints there.

Cons

Upper management runs us in circles with initiatives that seldom pan out. I feel like I am overworked and underappreciated. If the company would work more into giving me positive feedback and constructive feedback. I am tired of the position after five years and am counting down the time till I leave. Mostly I feel underappreciated.

Pros

Walgreens has a very good benefits package, and from word of mouth from friends it is near the top for retail drug stores packages. The pay is on par with most places, I have no complaints about my salary or my yearly bonus that is earned after you become an EXA. If you like working in a retail environment and know what that entails going into the job, then it is a good place to work. But be aware that because EXAs are salaried, they are worked like dogs, while others get to leave at 5 on the dot.

Cons

Walgreens as a company has an inherent downside of being open all day every day in some locations, and I do not like working over night at all. The time I put in compared to the praise I recieve for my efforts is ridiculously poor. The company just expects you to stop everything and put it first, but will absolutely not do the same for you if the opportunity arrives. Trust me, if anyone in upper management makes you feel as though you're their friend and that they would help you out before thinking of the company in even little matters, they won't.
