Pros

Great job for students going to school and a person who have been out of work for a few months.

Cons

Company adds more "programs" for employees to follow and no increase to pay. Room for promotion is slim. HR gives you the runaround when you want questions answered. Company should definitely re consider the people they hire in corporate. Corporate should be filled more with people that truly understand the retail world. Just because one has a degree; it doesn't mean they can efficiently do the job and affectively. Ever since the company became one with boots alliance they have forgotten the employees are what makes it happen. The moral is down completely and for any other employee that says what I'm saying is a lie... Keep in mind store managers got a bigger bonus during the pandemic meanwhile CSA only got from $150-$300. As a previous Store manager the company should reconsider how those bonuses are given and think about their CSA and shift leads who run the store full Time while us Store managers only deal with some paper work and get the heat when things don't go as expected.

Pros

Benefits and ability to work from home

Cons

1. Training: The training is lackluster and needs a complete deep cleaning. There were times where training seemed ok and then we'd have a tenured rep come in a give us a speech about how everything we just learned was trash and a waste of time. So people were constantly confused about what info to retain and what info to forget about. Total waste of time, money, and resources. You can tell that AllianceRx doesn't put their money into training because there weren't any "real" trainers that cared about if we were successful or not. They just stuffed us with as much info as they could and got irritated if questions were asked for clarity. 2. Management: Management is weak, childish, and conniving. Everyone has their foot on each other's necks over crumbs and positions that mean nothing. It literally felt like a reality t.v. show because there was so much favoritism, nepotism, back stabbing, workplace bullying, harassment of every kind, etc. Integrity was nonexistent in this place. No care for the patient getting their meds, just evil manipulation on spewing out as many numbers as possible. Some managers are promoted and have no idea how the system works, how to take a call, or how to find the info to assist the patient. And if you bother to report anything to HR, be prepared to be retaliated against. They're ALL connected. This is like the mafia, no report is kept confidential.

Pros

Pay, decent PTO, overall still some good people to work with in the company

Cons

Company doesn't care about patient safety! They will cut your hours so much that you are forced to rush on everything and make mistakes. It gets worst every year. They make you do more and more every year while cutting your hours for techs, rph, etc. If you are in retail, get out of Walgreens while you still can. This career has become so saturated that Walgreens will take advantageous of you. No pay raise for past 3 years and counting for all pharmacist. Benefits getting cut as well.
