Pros

Decent salary for managers but the hours are flexible including overnight hours. The company keeps you busy and the benefits are satisfactory. The best part about this company is the company match for 401k which is 3:1.

Cons

Never take a leave of absence. Even though the policy states, " Walgreens cannot guarantee your same position on your return we will provide you with a similar position". When I tried to come back to work, after my spouse returned from basic training in the National Guard, I was told it does not guarantee me a job... If I'm reading the policy correctly it does guarantee "A" job, but not the one previously held. Am I wrong?

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.
