Pros

This job is ok.....I tell friends to go back to school! its just enough money to keep you there but not enough to get ahead. I do get weekends off and a set schedule.

Cons

Company doesn't care about the little guy...small raises if any at all some years. No chance for advancement...unless your family is already management or you good friends with HR. Your job here will probably be replace by another DC that is newer and they will pay you less. that how Walgreens works. 13 cent raise this year....and CEO get MILLIONS in a single raise each year....and he does nothing...NEVER SEEN him at the DC EVER IN 10 years. Management is truly terrible and HR is their best friends so.......no one stands up for you. If your not a robot or a kiss butt this isn't the job for you. they don't like anyone with opinions or ideas. they have it all worked out for you and hire and fire all the time.

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.
