Pros

The majority of the people I worked with were very friendly. Walgreens also provided flexible hours so an employee can work and take classes.

Cons

The major challenge working here was corporate cutting costs. As a former MGT, who did not want to advance to store manager, this cost cutting led to me being laid off. Cost cutting impacted the morale of all of the employees and made a simple job very difficult to accomplish. Especially those in management who had to juggle both the front end and pharmacy while trying to accomplish their work list.

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.
