Pros

They are all over the US so if you moved you could just transfer. I did like the fact that I could come in when I wanted and do the cards. I also liked the fact that by working for Walgreens you get a 15% discount on all the things you buy there except for dairy, prescription drugs, and tobacco. I had fun at first doing the cards, but then quickly realized the work I was putting in and the pay I was getting was not fair! It was nice being able to work close to home for 6 months.

Cons

The pay is just horrible, and the hours are even worse!! I quickly realized after putting in 30 hours and my back killing me that I wouldn't be there long. Then I received my first pay check and wanted to cry! $150 for 2 weeks? Are you kidding me? Who can live off that. And this place is not a place for adults to work, there are nothing but a bunch of high school kids working there that start so much drama and gossip about everything and everyone. If you work under 20 hours a week you do not qualify for any kind of benefit!

Pros

pay was decent I guess

Cons

no promotions, no good management, a lot of people in positions that do absolutely nothing, very cliquey, constant checking in 1:1's, no growth in your career, favoritism, toxic environment.
