Ventajas
I have worked in other retail chains before and Walgreens does pay above average. Good profit sharing plan, 10% discount on stock purchases. Part timers get holiday pay also. If you hang in there you can promote to store manager.
Desventajas
Starting pay for a store manager isn't that great. Just a few more $k above and EXA. Bonuses can be large (7k to 45k). They are open on ALL holidays. A 24hr store is open 24/7 ALL year. Hard to balance work and life. As an mgt or an EXA you can get transfered anywhere without any say-so. If a store is down the street from you, it is too close. You will get transfered 40 miles away. I am told that this is dew to exposing assistant mgrs to different management styles. Thats fine, but when 2 EXAs got promoted last year they had only worked in ONE store. Hmmmm.... And, it seems that only EXAs with degrees are getting promoted. Thats fine too, but Walgreens should have some form of tution reimbursement plan.
