Pros
The benefits like profit sharing, potential advancement, and employee discount. Profit sharing has been amazing for me and I've only been in it for a year. The company match definitely helps you out and makes you smile when you see it. If you work in a new district the room for advancement is limitless. However, if you work in a saturated market like myself you have to bleed, sweat, and network like a son of a gun. Walgreens has a generous employee discount of 15% and it is magnified when their are company wide promotions like in the photo department.
Cons
Not being able to use vacation time during the winter months. Being transferred to any store at a whim of the district manager. People calling loss prevention or superiors on you. The hours are horrible. It is expected of you to put in extreme hours sometimes only to be degraded by your superiors so what is the point then really? Customers tend to kick, yell, scream, or rob you. Possibility of transferring to a bad store with rude and insensitive employees. Many of the higher ups are related to someone else high up. Hard work is rarely recognized in a promotion.
