Pros

flexibility was nice when there were enough employees working. loved being apart of a team when others did as well, and appreciated the friendly customers that came and made my day

Cons

unfortunately many people didn't want o be part of the team atmosphere. Management definitely had favorites and if your werent one of them, you would have to consistently work hard to even be noticed. The place i worked for had a lot of opportunity if management would just listen to there employees instead of just sucking up to there corporate bosses. because of this there was an extremely high turnover rate. 16 people either quit or were fired since i worked for these guys. sad because a lot of the employees that quit were long time. they had worked there 3 or more years. another negative was because of the high turnover there wasnt enough experienced technicians to help customers.

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.
