Pros
Walgreens will promote you if you are willing to relocate as far as 2 or 3 hours away from home. It is a good working atmosphere as long as you have the right employees. At the store I work at we have a great staff and we have fun but also get a lot of work done. There is a 15% off employee discount (20% off Walgreens products) and you can combine this discount with sale prices and coupons which is nice. Walgreens management program is designed to train assistant managers to grow within the company and become store managers or even district managers. If you are willing to work hard and have a positive attitude you can easily get promoted.
Cons
As an assistant manager, I feel almost every day that I am just an overpaid stock boy. It's a stressful place to work when you are not given enough tech hours and you spend an hour of your shift filling prescriptions, but at the same time you get paged to the front of the store to do a return and you have a vendor ringing the bell in the back waiting to drop off some chips.
