Pros

Competitive salary, benefits are good but expensive.

Cons

Wags has changed a lot in the 10 years I have been with them. We went from having a good amount of staff and being able to interact with patients to a skeleton crew and more demands being put on us to meet immunization quotas. I am in FL and the centralized POWER system is a disaster. They cut staff to implement POWER & now they are phasing it out but we are not getting the staffing back. Wags used to be the place to work if you were in retail but is like all the other chain pharmacies now.

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.
