Pros

- Excellent pay - Moderately decent benefits

Cons

-All interesting parts of the job (health tests, travel immunizations, etc) have been eliminated -Since the merger with Boots Alliance, Walgreens is trying to earn money from cosmetics, rather than prescriptions, as this is the norm in Europe, where BA is from. This is a total shift from Walgreens' typical set-up, and who wants to work for a company where someone's heart medication is less important than an overpriced tube of lipstick? -Management does NOT have your back. (Example: A known problem-patient, who had gone off her anti-psych meds threatened to wait in the parking lot to beat me up since her medicine 'cost too much'. Pharmacy manager told the patient she was no longer welcome at that location. Patient filed a complaint (full of lies), and so corporate made the manager call and apologize TO THE PATIENT and accept her back at that location.

Pros

The management is accommodating and doesn't ask of to much.

Cons

At one point the heat was out during the winter, but i'll say that this was only for about a week.

Pros

Gave me decent pay. Bought us little gifts and food at holidays.

Cons

Gave away one of my paychecks to another employee and refused to reimburse me because of issues with "their bank." My RxM created a hostile work environment showing clear favoritism for employees. Eventually, HR got involved, and I was no longer scheduled with him. I did not ask for this change, and actively resented it, because now I had fewer hours, meaning less pay on top of the $500 corporate had already stolen from me. They had no interest in training me or anyone else to become certified as promised. Over and over again, they hired people, ran out the time on their licenses, and let techs choose between paying to get certified elsewhere, or losing their jobs. The only thing Walgreens was passionate about was convincing patients that they couldn't even provide their regular medications to get vaccines. Often unneeded. The "patient care" calls are blatant and illegal marketing for vaccines, since Walgreens makes it next to impossible for a patient to opt out of it. I would NEVER get my medications here after seeing how poorly everything is managed, how unethical company policies and patient health were regarded, and how mistreated the staff were.
