Vantaggi
The pro of working at Walgreens, you are standing behing a big name. you get a discount on almost everything in the store. 15% on non-walgreens product, and 20% on walgreens product. Average like most companies 2 week vacations after the first year, profit sharing is okay, and discounts on the stocks.
Svantaggi
It really depends on the district/markets you are in as well as what store managers you have. Store management for Indianapolis is very poor. The communication is terrible, the training is terrible, very few store managers hold any type of degree, but degrees are now required for advancement. Back stabbing is just terrible, you are told from management how to disipline your employees, and when confronted from employees, the upper management plays it off. The support is just down right disgusting. You can be a very hard worker and very supportive in trying to help upper management, but you are not supported if you dont know everything, in most cases the store managers dont even know everything. Consist changes throughout the stores, as far always moving the same products form location to location, this gets out of hand. You are pretty much just a glorified stock person with a tie. Walgreens is a good company, it just depends on the loaction/market/district you are in. Thier are far way too many Store managers that hold this title, that shouldnt.
