Pros

Retail pharmacy operations is a very Interesting industry with lots of varying day-to-day subject matter, working with pharmacists and administrative executive stakeholders is challenging and provides professional growth, Walgreens is a well-established/well-known brand

Cons

retail store executive leaders don't know what they're doing, very disconnected from day-to-day store operations, weak communications leadership with a 'run and hide' posture, silos between comms and marketing
