Pros

They have the best retirement plan with their profit sharing very hard for other companies to compete. also, great benefits that add up the longer an employee stays with them.knowing walgreens is a company that will be around for a long time.

Cons

everything was really great when i was a simc ,until they changed the postion to the stl.I've been able to do well at the different task at times,but i am very unhappy and the pay is just not worth staying anymore.I 'm at an age where it would be hard for me to leave and a long time with walgreens but you need to happy and content with what you do day by day,before life passes you by.I guess the biggest problem I have is working the job of assistant manager and not having the title or pay and I never wanted to be an assistant manager and this makes it very uncomfortable and hard for me.I dread going to work every day and I know I need to decide what to do for me and my family.This is not what I saw in my almost 20 years with walgreens.

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.
