Pros

Corporate life at Walgreens is great if you're the type of person who wants to settle down. This is a place that celebrates pinnings for annual work anniversaries and it's not uncommon that you'll see 10, 15, and 20+ year pinnings here. Work isn't stressful and you can get by without giving it your 110%. You'll get into a routine and achieve complacency very easily. If you're looking for a place where you can coast, this is it.

Cons

Walgreens is a mature company. This isn't a place where you're going to be on the leading-edge of anything. Business is conducted top-down. There have been some initial talks of making this place more innovative and adopting a more agile-like process. However, this is going to take a lot of work and buy-in from executives. At this point in time, I feel it's more conceptual rather than definitively saying it's the direction they are headed in. If you strive in a fast-pace environment like I do , you'll miss that here. This isn't a place where you'll constantly be learning or have an opportunity to push ideas. The Deerfield office is soul-sucking but the Digital ecommerce Chicago office is a little more lively and laid-back.
